Outbound Delivery Method
Release: 1.0 | August 22, 2025
WBD will deliver the output package to an AWS S3 bucket supplied by the affiliate. This is the preferred approach to deliver launch catalog and BAU assets for cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
- WBD supports role-based authentication using an IAM role created in a WBD AWS account and managed by WBD.
- The WBD S3 delivery platform uses the same IAM role to access the source and destination S3 buckets.
- As per our security standard, no IAM user or role from an external account can access WBD source repositories.
- Full details of the required S3 and KMS policies will be supplied during the onboarding process.
Other delivery methods may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Deliverables Naming Conventions & File Locations
- File naming conventions for all components are designed to be unique.
- All files are delivered to the S3 delivery location specified by the partner.
- Below, <content-ID> is a unique ID that represents each type of content (Episode, Season, Series, Movie).
- Below are the artifact, delivery location, and naming conventions for each file/component type.
