Somebody has approached me looking to create a PPV music performance website. At the start, we're only looking to run 1 or 2 of these events per month, but due to the number of viewers that are anticipated, and the high quality of the streams, I'm looking for recommendations for what I can use to help with this.
We use only 1 RTMP input and are using the in-built video player to play HLS to all viewers. Number of viewers can range between 500-2000 and the bitrate of ther video will be 7Mbps. These events will go on for an average of 3 hours.
Firstly, I understand that the network requirements for this would be huge, essentially needing a maximum of 14Gbps connection. Does anybody know of a service which might help with this? I am not sure EC2 is even capable of this.
With this use case, can I get away with using 1 instance of AMS (potentially connected to CloudFront)? If so, what requirements would be needed? If not, what type and number of instances would be better suited?
I see that there are documents for scaling, but I don't know if they are appropriate for my use case. With this project inevitable going to cost a lot of money, I would rather make sure I have the least amount of hardware required to make it happen.
Thanks in advance for any help regarding my questions.
