The redundant ingest feature allows streaming from two encoders simultaneously to a single stage, enabling automatic failover if one encoder or network path fails. This ensures continuous, low-latency video delivery critical for live events and 24/7 streaming applications, improving viewer experience during unexpected disruptions.

Amazon IVS remains a managed live streaming service focused on real-time video, and this added fault tolerance helps organizations maintain uninterrupted broadcasts globally. The feature works seamlessly without additional user configuration and is available in supported AWS regions.
