Just for being that guy: AFAIK Netflix has some caching devices that were pretty much home baked with FreeBSD and some other goodies. Can't remember the name, but I know they sit them in exchanges directly to ISPs. IIRC they were only using AWS for storing content with low frequency access.
- scarface74 6y agoThey use AWS for much more than just “storing content”. You can read about all they do on AWS just by reading their blog and watching some of their ReInvent presentations.

- pezezin 6y agoThey call it OpenConnect: https://openconnect.netflix.com https://openconnect.netflix.com If I remember correctly, they use S3 to store and distribute the master files, and other AWS services for the user interface and the like, but streaming itself is handled from their own infrastructure.
