If you are looking for managed solution for streaming you might consider MediaLive. It will allow you to create pseudo steams from prerecorded files. You can use MediaLive workflow wizard (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/wizard.html) to create test channel then use created by wizard cloudformation template as reference for channel creation automation.

Your workflow sounds like playout of VOD. 
for on-demand playout to specific users you want  S3 +CloudFront 
---unless you also want DRM  and Encryption ?   In which case, you want MediaPackage-VOD and CloudFront.

If you want playlist-based live linear channel playout of a VOD collection, look at Channel Assembly or MediaLive.
