Amazon IVS now supports rendition filtering and higher frequency thumbnails for the Record to S3 feature

With Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS) you now have the option to filter the specific HLS renditions stored in your S3 bucket as well as control the resolution and pixel count of thumbnail jpeg files while using the auto-record to S3 feature. These controls allow customers to control the amount of data stored while recording to optimize storage costs. Additionally, customers can reduce the thumbnail generation interval down to one second (previously 5 second limit) to have lower latency thumbnails for discovery or post processing use cases. These enhancements apply to Amazon IVS Standard and Advanced channel types without additional cost. [Amazon IVS](https://aws.amazon.com/ivs/) is a managed live streaming solution that is designed to be quick and easy to set up, and ideal for creating interactive video experiences. Send your live streams to Amazon IVS using the broadcast SDKs or standard streaming software such as Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) and the service does everything you need to make low-latency live video available to any viewer around the world, letting you focus on building interactive experiences alongside the live video. Visit the AWS region table for a full list of [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) where the Amazon IVS console and APIs for control and creation of video streams are available.
