I think it already paid off. She on-boarded Snap, Apple and Netflix Edit - I am impressed with Diane Greene. She donated all of her take from acquisition of her company - http://www.businessinsider.com/diane-green-donates-150m-to-charity-2016-1 http://www.businessinsider.com/diane-green-donates-150m-to-c...

Does Netflix use Google Cloud? Or do they just support it with Security Monkey?

  I thought Netflix was mostly or exclusively in AWS. Could certainly be wrong though.

    Pretty sure they don't serve the actual video from AWS. And now considering the competition from Amazon Prime, I doubt it will move there in the future.

  The majority of Netflix infrastructure runs on AWS, sans content delivery AFAIK. The transition to AWS was completed a little over a year ago and took several years to do.[0] [0]: https://media.netflix.com/en/company-blog/completing-the-netflix-cloud-migration https://media.netflix.com/en/company-blog/completing-the-net...

Correction: She didn't onboard Snap. Maybe you meant Spotify? Source: I worked with Snap when I was on the Google Cloud Platform team in 2012/2013.

  She got them to sign a significant multi-year $1B+ commitment - if that isn't a win, I don't know what is.

    How do you spend 1Bi in hosting costs? That's mind-blowing
    - jldugger 9y ago
      Well, first you sign a multiyear agreement. Lets call it 5 years. Now you only need to find a way to spend $200m a year on a service that purports to discard your videos pretty damn fast. How do you do that? I figure a mix of bandwidth, storage, and personal targeting ad-tech. Most folks using cloud vendors are upset at the outbound traffic cost, so that probably costs a pretty penny. Especially when CDN and caching layers are pointless.
