Guide For AWS Marketplace Users

Guide:

This guide provides IT infrastructure decision-makers and system administrators with technical guidance on how to prepare, configure, deploy, and run Ant Media Server in a stand alone or highly scalable and available mode on AWS.

Installation:

Please refer to following links for an installation of Ant Media Server on AWS for single instance (stand alone) or in multi instances (highly available and scalable)

• Single Instance - https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/wiki/Start-Ant-Media-Server-on-AWS-(Single-Instance)

• Multi Instance - https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/wiki/Scaling-with-AWS

• Multi Instance with CloudFormation - https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/wiki/CloudFormation-Installation-For-Scaling-Ant-Media-Server

Preparation:

• Open UDP ports(5000-65000) in order to make WebRTC work.

• In case of instance instance stop/start, IP may be changed by AWS. So please use [Elastic IP](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/elastic-ip-addresses-eip.html).

• Most of the browsers require secure connection for WebRTC publishing. So if you want to use WebRTC publishing, you need to run enable SSL script. Please look at [this](https://github.com/ant-media/Ant-Media-Server/wiki/SSL-Setup#enabling-ssl-in-linuxubuntu).

• Add STUN server configuration by running the following two commands:

  echo 'settings.webrtc.stunServerURI=stun:stun1.l.google.com:19302' | sudo tee -a /usr/local/antmedia/webapps/WebRTCAppEE/WEB-INF/red5-web.properties
  echo 'settings.webrtc.stunServerURI=stun:stun1.l.google.com:19302' | sudo tee -a /usr/local/antmedia/webapps/LiveApp/WEB-INF/red5-web.properties

Usage:

Server can become ready to use as it’s designed based on 64-bit (x86) Amazon Machine Image (AMI). No need to install anything as long as you use AMI. Just needs to wait about 30 seconds after server starts because it will create and set up some initial configurations.

You can login the Web Management Console with below credentials Username: JamesBond Password: {InstanceId*}

*You can learn instance id on EC2 console. It should be in the following format such as i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

• Login to Web Panel http://INSTANCE_IP_ADDRESS:5080

  username: JamesBond 
  password: {Your Instance Id, like this i-0fb29b677379280a5}
