Abstract
A content delivery service that facilitates the selection of virtual machine instances utilized to implement the transcoding function. A management service first implements a test channel configuration routine that selects worst case scenario configurations for implementing the transcoding function and measures performance metrics for different virtual machine instances implementing the transcoding function. The management system can then match incoming requests for video channel transcoding with signature data from the test channel configurations to identify which virtual machine instances can implement the requested transcoding functionality.
