AWS Elemental MediaTailor introduces alert categories in Channel Assembly

You can now see alerts in AWS Elemental MediaTailor Channel Assembly categorized to understand nature and severity. Alerts will be categorized as either Scheduling Error, Playback Warning or Info. Understanding which alerts are important and why is a challenge often faced when operating channels at scale. With categorized alerts, you can now see the severity of an alert at a glance, asses the impact, and group similar alert types together to assist in faster troubleshooting. Using Channel Assembly with MediaTailor, you can create linear channels that are delivered over-the-top (OTT) in a cost-efficient way, even for channels with low viewership. You can create virtual linear streams by using existing multi-bitrate encoded and packaged live or VOD content. You can also monetize Channel Assembly linear streams by inserting ad breaks without having to condition the content with SCTE-35 markers.
