MediaTailor configuration aliases overview

Geographic routing: Route requests to different origins or ad servers based on viewer location using region-specific aliases. For implementation guidance, see CloudFront Origin Failover.

Content-based routing: Direct different content types to specialized origins or processing pipelines. For routing behavior configuration, see Set up CDN routing behaviors for MediaTailor.

Failover scenarios: Implement backup origins and ad servers with automatic failover using alias switching. For detailed implementation, see Implement multi-Region resilience for MediaTailor with MQAR and Plan your CDN integration for AWS Elemental MediaTailor.

A/B testing: Test different ad servers, origins, or configurations by routing traffic based on player parameters. For load testing guidance, see Prepare and run performance tests for Amazon CloudFront with real user monitoring.

Device-specific optimization: Optimize content delivery and ad serving for different device types or capabilities. For comprehensive guidance, see Set up manifest filtering with MediaTailor, MediaPackage, and CDN.

Load balancing: Distribute load across multiple origins or ad servers using dynamic routing. For implementation guidance, see Implement multi-Region resilience for MediaTailor with MQAR and Plan your CDN integration for AWS Elemental MediaTailor.
