Microsoft Standard Streaming Unit Azure Media Services Capacity

Add standard-tier streaming capacity to an Azure Media Services streaming endpoint with Microsoft Standard Streaming Unit service capacity. Streaming units are assigned to streaming endpoints, where they provide the service capacity used to deliver live and on-demand media streams. They are cloud resources rather than physical appliances, cables, or endpoint hardware. A streaming endpoint sits at the delivery side of a media workflow after content has been encoded and prepared for playback. Standard Streaming Unit capacity applies where viewers need access to packaged video streams through an Azure-hosted delivery endpoint. Additional units can be assigned when an endpoint requires more delivery capacity, allowing capacity to be aligned with the expected audience and media-delivery demand. Microsoft 3A59CF404628 identifies the Standard Streaming Unit ordering code offered through CSP Azure. Its standard designation distinguishes it from higher-tier streaming capacity options within the Azure Media Services streaming-endpoint family. Use this service capacity when the deployment already uses Azure Media Services and needs standard streaming-endpoint scale for live events, video-on-demand libraries, internal media portals, or application-delivered video.
