Docker provides a fast and reliable way to deploy Wowza Streaming Engine™ media server software in a consistent environment across different systems.
By running a Wowza Streaming Engine image in a local or cloud-based Docker container, you can package the application along with its configuration, dependencies, and runtime environment, ensuring consistent behavior across development, staging, and production environments. Docker deployments provide the following benefits:
- Run the same containerized setup on any system —locally, on-premises, or in the cloud —without configuration drift.
- Eliminate complex installation steps and deploy with a single command using prebuilt Docker images or Compose files.
- Integrate with orchestration tools such as Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and cloud container services (GCP, AWS, Azure).
- Restart or rebuild containers in seconds, improving uptime and reducing troubleshooting time.
- Replace or revert containers seamlessly without affecting other services.
Wowza provides pre-configured, ready-to-use images of Wowza Streaming Engine to Docker Hub.
