Languages Available: Español (Latinoamérica) | Français | Bahasa Indonesia | Italiano | 日本語 | 한국어 | Português (Brasil) | 中文（简体)

In this lab you will create a low-latency live video stream. You will use AWS Elemental MediaLive to compress a high-resolution, high bit rate source into multiple lower bit rate versions. You will then use AWS Elemental MediaStore’s low-latency capabilities to deliver the video stream through Amazon CloudFront, to your desktop or mobile device.
