You realize most of Netflix is not in AWS right?
- qaq 10y agoYou realize that netflix is using up over 20% of aws capacity and as cool as having your own cdn is there is not much purpose in it without the part that runs on AWS.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoThe part that runs in AWS could just as easily run on bare metal. Stack Overflow does it, Backblaze does it, Github does it; I'm so disappointed in this tired trite that your a special snowflake running in AWS.
- qaq 10y agoYes it would run even better but it would take a few years to do the buildout.

- manquer 10y agoNothing is going disappear overnight.. AWS iaas services are commodity and not something so unique that are not replaceable with products from other cloud vendors
- qaq 10y agoAt Netflix scale they are not replaceable by other vendors because other vendors do not have enough capacity to accommodate Netflix migration.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoCan you provide information as to how much capacity Netflix would need to migrate? Otherwise, this comment has no basis in reality.
- qaq 10y agothere are estimates that netflix is consuming about 20% of AWS. AWS does not publish a list of DCs but from regions and AZs you can put a lower bound estimate at 40 so it would be anywhere from 8 DCs to whatever the upper bound is (I guesstimated 20)
