Creating a New Broadcaster Cluster

There are two management options available for the Broadcaster clusters:

• Manual – this option requires manual set up and configuration of each Zixi Broadcaster instance. You can then create a Manual cluster and add your specific broadcaster instances to the cluster.
• Managed – this option enables ZEN Master to spin up new broadcaster instances in your cloud account and manage them automatically. For this option there is no need to manually set up the actual Zixi Broadcaster instances. All you need to do is create a Managed cluster and then add the desired number of primary and secondary broadcasters to the cluster. This option is only available once you have configured your Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google GCP account in ZEN Master. To configure your credentials, see Configuring AWS Account Credentials, Configuring Microsoft Azure Account Credentials, or Configuring Google GCP Account Credentials.

The following procedure describes how to add a Broadcaster cluster in ZEN Master. In addition, an explanation of each of the configuration parameters is given in the table below.
