Transition from Azure Media Services to MediaKind(MK.IO)

[pallakartheekreddy]

Azure Media Services will be retired on 30 June 2024. Please find more details at the following link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/latest/azure-media-services-retirement

To ensure a smooth transition, we plan to use MediaKind, a Microsoft partner solution, as an alternative to Azure Media Services. Our plan includes:

1. Migrating all existing streaming assets to MediaKind.
2. Generating streaming URLs for new assets using MediaKind.

We believe MediaKind will be a suitable replacement for Azure Media Services and will meet our streaming needs effectively. Please find more details about MediaKind in at the following link

We welcome any questions or discussions regarding this transition. Please share your thoughts and concerns below.
