AWS Elemental MediaConvert Queue

AWS Elemental MediaConvert queues allow you to manage the resources that are available to your account for parallel processing of jobs.

MediaConvert offers two queue types:

On-demand queues
Reserved queues

On-demand queues

With on-demand queues, you do not have to set up anything in advance.

You send your jobs to an on-demand queue when you want.
You pay per minute, billed in increments of .01 minute.
Your default queue is an on-demand queue.

Reserved queues

With reserved queues:

You pay for the transcoding capacity of the entire queue, regardless of how much or how little you use it.
You make a 12-month commitment, which AWS bills you for monthly.

Use the AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.
