This course introduces the fundamentals of video media, media workflow, and use cases for customers. It explores opportunities and challenges in video media processing and delivery, including media analytics, media delivery, and media processing. The course covers scalable video technology (SVT), a software architecture that can be used with any block-based encoder technology or codec. It also discusses the importance of scalability in media delivery and the role of accelerators in lowering total cost of ownership (TCO). The course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of media use cases, including media processing and delivery, video on demand (VOD), and user-generated content (UGC). By the end of the course, learners will be able to identify projected opportunities for media, recognize common media use cases, and align Intel technologies with common media use cases.

This course provides an overview of the media delivery pipeline, which consists of media production, preparation for distribution, and distribution using internet streaming. The course covers the different types of media production, including live and offline production, and the process of preparing media for distribution. It also explains the importance of video compression in delivering media over the internet and the different video compression standards, such as AVC, AV1, and AVS3. Additionally, the course discusses the role of content delivery networks (CDNs) in streaming media and the different streaming standards, such as MPEG-DASH, HLS, and WebRTC. By the end of this course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the media delivery pipeline and the technologies involved in delivering high-quality media over the internet.

This course explores the landscape of opportunities, challenges, and considerations as companies move into edge to cloud computing. It discusses market trends, the explosion of data generated by IoT devices, and the need for reliable connections with low network latency. The course also covers the challenges faced by enterprise customers, including managing a large number of devices, data security, and thermal and power requirements. Additionally, it highlights key considerations for adopting edge to cloud solutions, such as reliability, manageability, security, and interoperability. The course also examines various use cases across different vertical industries, including manufacturing, retail, and financial services, and discusses the role of 5G networks in enabling edge to cloud services.

Continuing the Controlling Cloud Costs course, this course delves into cloud-native usage of spot instances, cost-saving tools, and the native tooling features for setting up alerts and notifications for the three primary CSPs. (Duration: 25 minutes)
