Wowza Streamming Cloud vs Wowza CDN Caching

Hey guys,

I was just wondering what are the main differences between creating a Streaming Cloud and a Wowza CDN target stream to stream my Wowza Engine live stream to ?

Thanks in advance.

Basically, the tech specs are the same @Rafael Gonçalves when it comes to the actual CDN network delivery speed. You can push a stream directly from Engine to the Cloud where it will be transcoded and you will be charged for processing hours (transcoding) and the Cloud monthly fee or you can push the stream directly from the Engine, manage the transcoding on your end, push it to a CDN and pay those CDN charges and bypass the Cloud.

If this seems a bit confusing, here is a doc to explain the options. Also feel free to reach out to our sales team for a further explanation.
