I’ll explain how to is possible read the files from Amazon S3 Storage but without using a EC2 instance.
For example your “localhost” or your Standalone Wowza server running on your own datacenter.
I did this for working on my local development environment, I’ll describe the steps for a Linux environment.
1- Download from this URL the 2 Jars, and copy this in /lib directories.

2- Create the MediaCache folder:

mkdir /mnt/mediacache

3- Insert into the conf/Server.xml this lines:

<ServerListeners>
<ServerListener>
<BaseClass>com.wowza.wms.plugin.amazonaws.ec2.mediacache.MediaCacheServerListenerAmazonEC2</BaseClass>
</ServerListener>
</ServerListeners>

4- Insert into the conf/vods3/Application.xml (create this first) this lines:

<MediaReader>
<Properties>
<Property>
<Name>randomAccessReaderClass</Name>
<Value>com.wowza.wms.plugin.amazonaws.ec2.mediacache.MediaCacheRandomAccessReaderAmazonEC2</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>bufferSeekIO</Name>
<Value>true</Value>
<Type>Boolean</Type>
</Property>
</Properties>
</MediaReader>

And in the end of the file, add this properties (I don’t know is needed this for read Public content):

<Properties>
<!-- Set these two properties to do S3 authentication -->
<Property>
<Name>awsAccessKeyId</Name>
<Value>KEY</Value>
</Property>
<Property>
<Name>awsSecretAccessKey</Name>
<Value>KEY</Value>
</Property>
</Properties>

5- Restart the Wowza Server and try reading from S3 Bucket.
The URL can be like this:
rtmp://localhost/vods3/_definst_/mp4:amazons3/wmconsulting.content/Extremists.m4v
