# Elemental MediaLive Node

Elemental MediaLive Node is a managed resource in AWS Elemental MediaLive that represents a compute node used to process live video channels. Nodes provide the underlying infrastructure for encoding and delivering live video streams with high availability and scalability. They are part of the MediaLive Multiplex and Channel workflows, ensuring reliable video processing and distribution.
