Red5 Achieves AWS Media & Entertainment Competency

AWS Media & Entertainment Competency recognition highlights Red5’s proven expertise in delivering real-time video solutions on AWS. In this blog, we explain what this competency means, why it matters for media and entertainment teams, and how Red5 supports scalable, low-latency streaming use cases across AWS infrastructure.

About Our Partnership with AWS

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.

Red5 is an AWS Media & Entertainment Competency Partner

Many of our customers run their diverse live streaming use cases on AWS, and together we have supported deployments such as real-time drone streaming for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, live motorsports coverage for TORKHUB and Formula DRIFT , and a traffic monitoring system for the Caltrans District 7.

For our clients, this competency reinforces what they already trust about Red5. Our technology has been relied on for years, and this recognition from AWS validates the work we have been doing for a long time. We look forward to increasing our reach in the media & entertainment space for real-time video use cases.

About AWS Media & Entertainment Competency

The AWS Media and Entertainment Competency is awarded to partners with validated technical excellence, measurable customer outcomes and architectures that follow AWS best practices across lens to glass workflows. The AWS Competency Partner Program confirms that partners can help customers migrate applications and legacy infrastructure to AWS with confidence.

The AWS Media & Entertainment Competency is part of the broader AWS Specialization Program, which is designed to help customers identify partners with deep technical knowledge and proven experience in specific industry domains. For media and entertainment workloads, this includes complex live and on-demand video pipelines, real-time streaming, content processing, and large-scale distribution.

To earn this competency, partners must demonstrate strong architectural design, operational excellence, and consistent performance across demanding production environments, along with proven customer success stories that show measurable results in real-world deployments. AWS evaluates partners based on real customer deployments, security practices, scalability, and the ability to support end-to-end workflows that meet modern media requirements. This process helps customers reduce risk when selecting technology partners and ensures solutions align with AWS services and best practices.
