Automate MediaTailor and CDN with AWS CloudFormation

Automating AWS Elemental MediaTailor with a content delivery network (CDN) using AWS CloudFormation streamlines your ad insertion workflow and improves reliability.

This section shows you how to use AWS CloudFormation (AWS infrastructure as code service) to automatically set up AWS Elemental MediaTailor with a content delivery network (CDN). Although you can manually configure this integration as described in previous sections, using AWS CloudFormation saves time and reduces errors by automating the entire process with a single template.

If you're new to AWS CloudFormation, it's a service that lets you create a template file that defines all of the AWS resources that you need. When you deploy this template, AWS CloudFormation automatically creates and configures those resources for you, ensuring that they work together correctly.

For more information about AWS CloudFormation, see the AWS CloudFormation User Guide. For information about MediaTailor resource types in AWS CloudFormation, see AWS::MediaTailor Resource Type Reference.
