This article describes what information a customer needs to provide in order to store assets using Amazon Web Services, if the account does not wish to use the default BLOX VMS storage solution.
Accounts by default receive storage in BLOX VMS’s Amazon Web Services storage. However, if the account has an existing AWS storage bucket or wishes to control its own bucket, the system does allow for this.
There are two methods by which we can connect to a customer Amazon storage. The first way is to add a “policy” to the Amazon bucket that allows the BLOX VMS Video Platform access to the bucket. Then, provide the bucket name/S3 URL to BLOX VMS.
The other option is for the customer to create a user in the Amazon account that has access to the bucket. Then, provide the Amazon Access Key ID and Secret Access Key to BLOX VMS.
A final, optional configuration is the customer can provide an alternative CDN domain (if not using the BLOX VMS CDN).
Support will work with you to configure appropriately during setup.
