> Weird that they just not charge for egress as with other services.
My guess is they are charging ingress in place of some equivalent of compute necessary to transmux. That cost is fixed regardless of number of viewers.
Their docs state "The maximum input for a Standard channel is 8.5 Mbps and 1080p resolution (full HD)." but they could be outputting something less than that.
The FAQ states the following "If you send the maximum 8.5Mbps, 1080p60 stream, Amazon IVS will create 8.5Mbps 1080p60, 3Mbps 720p60, 2Mbps 720p30, 1.2Mbps 480p30, 800Kbps 360p30, and 400Kbps 160p30 renditions in an ABR stream."
I assume you will only be charged for full hd if the client is streaming it
