# Elemental MediaLive Channel Placement Group

An Elemental MediaLive Channel Placement Group in AWS is a configuration that defines how MediaLive channels are distributed across infrastructure to improve reliability and performance. It helps ensure that channels are placed on separate hardware or availability zones to reduce the risk of simultaneous failures and maintain consistent broadcast quality.
