Note: By default, the EBS volumes attached with the AMS instance are not marked for deletion. However, the data on the

primary drive where the operating system and AMS are installed is not accessible. This is because the data cannot be

mounted to a different instance. Adobe recommends that you copy the required content from the primary drive to a

different EBS volume. You can mount this volume to a different AMS instance. In contrast, the data on the secondary drive

can be mounted to any other instance.

On-demand streaming

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 tutorial uses a video player called Strobe Media Playback. Host Strobe Media Playback on your own web server.
