Frequently Asked Questions

what ams services are going away?

Microsoft is retiring four core services: Encoding, VOD streaming, live streaming and the Azure Media Player

How much time do I have to act?

This is an accelerated retirement, so you have until June 30, 2024 before the lights go out. There will be no grace period.

can i keep my services in azure?

Yes, Ravnur’s media services run exclusively in Microsoft Azure and are natively compatible with Azure’s services and security models.

How can i get ravnur media services?

Ravnur media services are available as private offers in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. You can subscribe using your monetary commitment or directly from Ravnur.

do i need to re-encode my videos?

No, there’s no need to re-encode your videos. You’ve spent too much on that already! They will stream fine with Ravnur.

What about my existing streaming urls?

If you use a CDN, then you’ll need to update the origin from AMS to Ravnur. If you stream from AMS, you’ll need to change the domain.


what about content protection?

It wasn’t mentioned explicitly in the announcement, but content protection is going away too. Ravnur can still protect your assets with AES-128 encryption or multi-DRM.

I need digital rights management (DRM)

Through tight integration with our partner EZDRM, you can continue to package and stream your videos with FairPlay, PlayReady and Widevine DRM.
