Netflix still uses AWS for much of their support systems (billing, discovery, etc. etc.) The core business of delivering video is not on AWS and has never been. That runs on their in-house CDN, OpenConnect.

- supermanfan 7y agoI have worked at Netflix. The history is that mainly they used well-known CDNs for streaming, followed by their OpenConnect CDN network now. AWS has always been used for metadata. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/ https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/ I'm not aware of them streaming from AWS, though it's possible a development group there did a test or something temporarily.
