Today we are excited to announce AWS Cloud Digital Interface (CDI), a network technology for reliably transporting uncompressed live video between applications. AWS CDI uses advanced, high-performance features available on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance types that support Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA). Using AWS CDI, you can send video reliably between applications with network latency as low as 8 milliseconds, which is less than one frame of video in duration. In addition, AWS Elemental MediaLive now supports AWS CDI inputs, enabling higher-quality and lower latency inputs for live cloud transcoding. Please visit the MediaLive pricing page for detailed pricing when using an AWS CDI input for video ingest into MediaLive.

The AWS Snowcone service is now available for order for customers in the EU (Ireland) Region. With this launch, Snowcone is now available for order in EU (Ireland), US East (N.
