AWS Elemental MediaStore

AWSMediaRetired· 13 Nov 2025

Origin storage purpose-built for media with sub-100ms read latency and strong consistency — typically the live-streaming origin pair to MediaLive and MediaPackage

This service is retired

Retired by AWS on 13 November 2025. The service no longer accepts requests. Migration paths: simple live-streaming workflows → Amazon S3; advanced (cross-region failover, ultra-low-latency origin) → AWS Elemental MediaPackage. Kept in the catalogue for historical cross-cloud equivalence lookups and migration-from queries; new builds should choose a successor.
