How do I implement AWS Elastic Transcoder with Pulumi?

This guide demonstrates how to set up AWS Elastic Transcoder using Pulumi to convert media files. AWS Elastic Transcoder is a media transcoding service in the cloud. It is designed to be highly scalable, easy to use, and cost-effective for businesses and developers looking to convert media files into different formats.

The following Pulumi program will:

Create an S3 bucket for input media files.
Create an S3 bucket for output media files.
Set up an IAM role for Elastic Transcoder.
Create an Elastic Transcoder pipeline.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create an S3 bucket for input media files
const inputBucket = new aws.s3.Bucket("inputBucket");

// Create an S3 bucket for output media files
const outputBucket = new aws.s3.Bucket("outputBucket");

// Create an IAM role for Elastic Transcoder
const transcoderRole = new aws.iam.Role("transcoderRole", {
    assumeRolePolicy: JSON.stringify({
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [{
            Action: "sts:AssumeRole",
            Principal: {
                Service: "elastictranscoder.amazonaws.com",
            },
            Effect: "Allow",
            Sid: "",
        }],
    }),
});

// Attach the necessary policies to the IAM role
const transcoderPolicy = new aws.iam.RolePolicy("transcoderPolicy", {
    role: transcoderRole.id,
    policy: JSON.stringify({
        Version: "2012-10-17",
        Statement: [
            {
                Effect: "Allow",
                Action: [
                    "s3:ListBucket",
                    "s3:GetBucketLocation",
                ],
                Resource: [
                    inputBucket.arn,
                    outputBucket.arn,
                ],
            },
            {
                Effect: "Allow",
                Action: [
                    "s3:PutObject",
                    "s3:PutObjectAcl",
                    "s3:GetObject",
                    "s3:DeleteObject",
                ],
                Resource: [
                    `${inputBucket.arn}/*`,
                    `${outputBucket.arn}/*`,
                ],
            },
            {
                Effect: "Allow",
                Action: "sns:Publish",
                Resource: "*",
            },
            {
                Effect: "Allow",
                Action: "cloudwatch:*",
                Resource: "*",
            },
        ],
    }),
});

// Create an Elastic Transcoder pipeline
const pipeline = new aws.elastictranscoder.Pipeline("pipeline", {
    inputBucket: inputBucket.bucket,
    outputBucket: outputBucket.bucket,
    role: transcoderRole.arn,
    contentConfig: {
        bucket: outputBucket.bucket,
    },
    thumbnailConfig: {
        bucket: outputBucket.bucket,
    },
});

Key Points

S3 Buckets: Created for input and output media files.
IAM Role: Configured with the necessary permissions for Elastic Transcoder.
Elastic Transcoder Pipeline: Set up to handle media transcoding tasks.

Summary

In this guide, we set up AWS Elastic Transcoder using Pulumi. We created S3 buckets for input and output files, configured an IAM role with the required permissions, and created an Elastic Transcoder pipeline to manage media conversion tasks. This setup allows you to efficiently convert media files into different formats using AWS Elastic Transcoder.
