Abstract

Techniques for migrating live broadcast streams from one data center to another data center are described herein. A data center from a plurality of data centers may be determined to transfer live streaming video content from a first data center to the data center. A separate live streaming session for each live streaming session being broadcast by the first data center may be generated by communicating with an ingest service server that receives media content used to generate each separate live streaming session and the live streaming session. Each separate live streaming session may be routed to the candidate data center. A determination that each separate live streaming session of the candidate data center is synchronized with each live streaming session of the first data center may be made. An update to a mapping of IP addresses to redirect requests from the first data center to the candidate data center.
