如何控制云流的资本支出和运营支出
What are the best strategies streamers can follow to manage the costs of cloud streaming architecture and production and maximize efficiencies in their workflows? AWS约翰·巴伯， IMAX的 阿卜杜勒·拉赫曼, 紫溪的 埃里克·博尔顿，还有 SVTA的 Jason Thibeault discuss cloud streaming cost management in this clip from 流媒体连接2024.
控制要点 云流的资本支出和运营支出
Barber outlines the key points of controlling 云流的资本支出和运营支出: the cost implications of operational and capital expenditures, the importance of managing predictability in expenses, and the differences between constant load workflows and 随需应变 processing.
他说:“你拥有整个生产环节。. “You may be sending out content that's already pre-produced, 哪个只是一个单一的流, or you might be running a whole truck or a whole in the cloud production. Those can get very expensive, both on OpEx and CapEx. 一旦你得到现场生产或通过, then you have the video prep to get ready for the encoding and the streaming, 然后你想出送货方式. 所以CDN，播放器，DRM和分析. 这些是我们看到的主要部分.”
恒定负载工作流的成本较高. 随需应变
蒂博询问博尔顿和拉赫曼的想法.
拉赫曼说, “我认为恒定负载的工作流程, 哪里需要24/7/365处理, those are the areas where you have higher costs than 随需应变, 需要很大的规模吗. 相对而言，（它们）比较便宜.”
The need for efficient architecture to manage costs
Bolten highlights the need for efficient architecture to manage costs and the balance between initial higher expenses and long-term efficiencies.
“From a 紫溪 perspective in the transport world, there's certainly production,” he says. “我们已经在云端完成了一些制作. 我们在 NAB, where we were able to use replay and packaging and actually cut a show. 但就总体运营成本而言, 你有你的出口, 计算水平, and then you try to manage those elements as elegantly as you can, 你要慢慢地把它削掉. 但这是出口和你如何设计出口. Your commercials will be a direct result of your architecture.”
He emphasizes the importance of managing the predictable aspects of cost. 他说：“线性vs基于事件的偶尔使用。. “一个人如何管理石板?? 如何管理切换? 一个人如何管理所有的元素? Because when the lights are on, they cost money, and if the lights are off, they do not. 所以你要努力保持那种优雅, and then you contrast that with the agility and customizable scenarios that you can run in use cases within the cloud. 所以我认为这是教育的一部分. 我想说，在最初的步骤中, 东西往往更贵, 但是随着时间的推移, you refine that program and you milk out those efficiencies as you go line by line.”
