On the cloud or at the edge? A flexible deployment fabric for media applications
As media applications and workflows move from bespoke hardware to software defined constructs, they find a natural home in the cloud. We are seeing a trend and several industry initiatives where some workloads, either fixed or temporary, require a cloud-like deployment but at the edge or in the broadcast facility close to live production. This talk explores how sophisticated deployment fabrics enabled with GPUs and built for AI are finding a place in the media, entertainment & broadcast industry.
