Deploy the AWS CloudFormation template for CDN and MediaTailor integrations

AWS Elemental MediaTailor deployment using the AWS CloudFormation template is straightforward once you understand what the template will create. This process takes about 15-30 minutes, with most of the time spent waiting for the CloudFront distribution to deploy.

To deploy the AWS CloudFormation template and set up your automated ad insertion workflow:

To deploy the MediaTailor AWS CloudFormation template

  1. Download the AWS CloudFormation template from the AWS Elemental MediaTailor GitHub repository or copy it from the AWS CloudFormation template reference for AWS Elemental MediaTailor and Amazon CloudFront integration.

  2. Open the AWS CloudFormation console.

  3. Choose Create stack > With new resources (standard).

  4. Under Specify template, choose Upload a template file and upload the template.

  5. Enter a stack name and provide values for the required parameters:

    • AdServerUrl: URL of your VAST ad server (e.g., https://your-ad-server.com/vast)

    • ContentOriginDomainName: Domain name of your content origin without protocol (e.g., mediapackage-domain.mediapackagev2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com)

    • ContentOriginType: Select the type of content origin:

      • mediapackagev2: For AWS Elemental MediaPackage origins

      • s3: For Amazon S3 bucket origins

      • custom: For any other origin type

  6. Review the configuration and choose Create stack.

  7. Wait for the stack creation to complete, which typically takes 5-10 minutes. You can monitor progress in the Events tab.

  8. Once complete, navigate to the Outputs tab to find the URLs for your HLS and DASH manifests.

Note

If you're using AWS Elemental MediaPackage as your content origin, make sure your MediaPackage endpoints are properly configured and accessible. For more information, see MediaPackage CDN integration.
