Purchasing additional RTS for an expired reserved queue - MediaConvert

Purchasing additional RTS for an expired reserved queue

After your initial pricing plan term for reserved transcode slots (RTS) expires, your reserved queue persists without the capacity to run transcoding jobs. You can send jobs to the queue, but MediaConvert doesn't process them. To begin processing jobs through the queue again, you can set up a new pricing plan, which requires a new 12-month commitment.

The following tabs show two options for purchasing transcoding capacity for an expired reserved queue.

Console

To purchase transcoding capacity for an expired reserved queue by using the MediaConvert console:

  1. Open the Queues page in the MediaConvert console.

  2. Choose the reserved queue that you want to edit.

  3. On the queue’s page, choose Edit queue.

  4. On the Edit queue page, choose Renew.

  5. In the Commitment to purchase RTS for reserved queue section, specify the number of reserved transcode slots (RTS) that you want to purchase.

  6. Review and agree to the pricing and time commitment. After you commit to your pricing plan, you can't cancel or revert it. Optionally select Auto renew yearly.

  7. Choose Purchase additional capacity. Then review your reserved queue details and choose Purchase.

  8. Choose Save queue.

AWS CLI

The following update-queue example adds one RTS to an existing expired reserved queue and begins a new 12-month commitment.

aws mediaconvert update-queue \
	--region region-name-1 \
	--reservation-plan-settings "Commitment=ONE_YEAR,RenewalType=EXPIRE,ReservedSlots=1" \
	--name ReservedQueue1
