MediaLab supports S3-compatible storage and Azure Blob storage as part of its hybrid cloud infrastructure.

If you join our cloud platform, we can provide container storage for you, or — depending on your workflow — support bring-your-own (BYO) storage containers.

With cloud containers enabled, you can assign a container for each file format. For example:

• Store source files in one container.
• Store MP4s and JPGs used for playback in another.

This setup makes it easy to optimize and manage your cloud storage costs.

Each cloud container can also be configured with a custom CDN to ensure high availability for playback. Contact our service desk to get started.

Archiving Considerations

If the Archiving add-on is enabled, cloud container behavior changes. Source files can be moved automatically to archive-tier storage containers when placed in a special Archive folder inside MediaLab.

For the difference between a file's source and its formats, which storage types (hot, cool, cold, archive) each can use, and how copying or restoring from archive works, see Storage tiering.

Viewing Configured Cloud Containers

To view your current setup:

1. Go to Settings → Cloud containers.
2. Create or edit containers from compatible cloud connections
