<p>We are streaming a video using a 30 instances of docker containers hosted on Azure each instance running FFmpeg. The problem is that Azure limits the reads/writes that a container can do. Is there a way to modify the command to reduce the reads/writes needed to stream?</p>
<pre><code>ffmpeg -re -i file.mp4 -c copy -f flv rtmps://streamingSite.com/live/x4t
