From the cloud perspective Azure has a better privacy pitch than AWS has.
Amazon is currently expanding into markets at such a rate everyone is afraid their market will be next. Microsoft currently is staying in their lane. If someone is going to be invading my privacy I'd rather it not be a direct competitor.
- scarface74 7y agoWhat does expanding its product portfolio have to do with privacy?
- max76 7y agoI don't want my data in the hands of my competitors. Amazon is either competing with or threatening to compete with a wide range of organizations.
- scarface74 7y agoWhether you are using Azure or AWS, if you’re concerned about your data, you should be encrypting it with customer managed keys. Netflix is AWS’s largest customer, even though it competes with Amazon Prime Video.
- max76 7y agoEncryption doesn't hide everything. For example, Amazon could estimate the geographical location of everyone watching Netflix and use that information to determine optimal billboard advertisement locations for it's advertisement campaign.
- jacques_chester 7y agoNetflix's video streams are delivered from devices installed at ISPs. Their most valuable data: what is being watched, where, by whom, is hidden from Amazon.
- scarface74 7y agoNot always. The devices at the ISPs are basically a local cache. They don’t have devices at every ISP and all of their content isn’t on every device. But that’s really neither here nor there. I doubt very seriously that even if Amazon (AWS not the retail side) was snooping on customer data - which I believe they would be fool to do so - they couldn’t inspect the video stream to know what was playing where.
