Red5 Cloud Now Available on AWS Marketplace

Red5 Cloud is now available on AWS Marketplace, making it easier for AWS customers to deploy ultra-low-latency live streaming without managing infrastructure.

Unlike traditional Marketplace listings that require customers to install and run software inside their own AWS accounts, Red5 Cloud remains fully managed. You subscribe through AWS Marketplace, create your Red5 Cloud account, and start streaming. We handle the infrastructure, scaling, monitoring, and performance optimization behind the scenes.

What This Means for AWS Customers

AWS Marketplace provides a streamlined path for procurement, billing consolidation, and contract alignment. By listing Red5 Cloud on AWS Marketplace, we make it possible to:

• Centralize billing under your AWS account.
• Apply AWS credits or committed spend.
• Faster procurement.
• Maintain compliance within your existing cloud governance model.

If your organization has an existing AWS Enterprise Agreement or committed cloud spend, you can use your AWS credits toward Red5 Cloud usage. That means you can launch and scale live streaming workloads without introducing a new vendor approval cycle or separate billing process.

About Our Partnership with AWS

AWS badges earned by Red5.

AWS was the first cloud platform where we introduced our autoscaling capabilities, and it has been an important partner ever since. Since then, our collaboration with AWS has continued to grow through a series of meaningful milestones that reflect our shared focus on real-time, scalable video.

• In 2022, we worked closely with AWS and AMD at AWS Summit New York to demonstrate hardware-accelerated Red5 Pro streaming on AWS infrastructure and collaborated on bringing immersive, Metaverse-ready experiences to life over 5G.
• In 2024, Red5 joined the AWS ISV Accelerate Program, strengthening our go-to-market alignment and enabling closer collaboration with AWS sales teams.
• Most recently, in 2025, Red5 was featured at the AWS booth at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, where AWS demonstrated how real-time streaming from its cloud infrastructure can significantly enhance viewer engagement for sports and other live content. Using Red5 technology, the AWS team streamed a live F1 simulator competition from the West Hall lobby to the booth and showcased TrueTime Studio with MultiView stream switching, allowing viewers to instantly select and view any camera angle in full screen. Additional demos highlighted how remote influencers can be brought into live game coverage in real-time, reinforcing how AWS and Red5 together enable highly interactive, low-latency viewing experiences. In December, we were recognized by AWS as a Media & Entertainment Competency Partner.
