instance are permanently deleted. Copy content from the instance to an S3 bucket or an EBS volume before you terminate
the instance.
On-demand streaming
Flash Player 10.1, AIR 2
Adobe Media Server on Amazon Web Services has a built-in vod application that streams video on demand content
to video players running in Flash Player and AIR. These tutorials use video players built with the Open Source Media
Framework (
OSMF). OSMF simplifies the development of video players for the Flash Platform.
The first tutorial uses a video player called Flash Media Playback. Flash Media Playback is hosted by Adobe and you
can embed it into any web page.
The second tutorial uses a video player called Strobe Media Playback. Host Strobe Media Playback on your own web
server.
