AWS MediaLive MediaPackage - How to store realtime streaming videos to S3?

I'm using AWS MediaLive to push video content in real-time from mobile devices. Then I'm using AWS MediaPackage to digest the input, i.e. the output from AWS MediaLive. With AWS MediaLive I create origin endpoints to let users/viewers watch live streamings.

Now, I don't know how to store the live streaming video to S3 and distribute it through a CDN, in order to let watching the video even once the streaming is ended. Is something provided by AWS out-of-the-box?

Update:

I defined an ArchiveGroupSettings with output URL to an S3 bucket. Now MediaLive creates .ts files and sends them to the bucket, the problem is that .ts files don't include a .m3u8 playlist file.

Should I use another AWS Media service? What I need it's just a way to stream videos once the realtime stream is finished, i.e. to save the HLS video to S3 or similar, then distribute it through a CDN like CloudFront.

NOTE: I'm using the AWS MediaLive and MediaPackage APIs.

I think you need to create another output it's HLS output group and setup destination to MediaStore.

AWS Elemental MediaStore is an AWS storage service optimized for media. It gives you the performance, consistency, and low latency required to deliver live streaming video content. AWS Elemental MediaStore acts as the origin store in your video workflow. Its high performance capabilities meet the needs of the most demanding media delivery workloads, combined with long-term, cost-effective storage.

To have a whole record of your video you have to set up configuration in Manifest and Segments section of your HLS Output group:

Output Selection: "MANIFESTS_AND_SEGMENTS"
Mode: "VOD"

Update: I recommended you to use MediaStore instead of S3 because MediaStore is the service based on S3 and have the same price that S3. And it's dedicated to working with media files.

I solved, using HlsGroupSettings, instead of ArchiveGroupSettings, with destinations URLs to the S3 bucket with VOD mode instead of LIVE.
