Edge Media Migration Basics
Configuration Options

RSID (report suite ID)
HB End point
Analytics end point
Org ID/publisher
Channel, sdkVersion, playerName
SSL flag

App Environment ID (if applicable)
In the Edge implementation, the development team will only be concerned with:
Datastream ID (aka Config ID)
Edge End point (maybe; aka Domain Name)
App Environment ID (if applicable)
In an Edge implementation, all data, including Media data, is sent to one unified end point so you no longer need to provide a separate video/Heartbeat server. Rest assu
