> Pay retail prices for AWS Is this actually the case for Twitch? How are they different from any other Amazon team using AWS?

  Even if they didn't get internal discount, there's no way they pay retail as in advertised prices. At that size AWS itself would likely want bandwidth commitment for a longer period too.

    At that size AWS has custom contracts even with non-subsidiaries

    Twitch rans on a separate network. Bulk traffic is not on AWS.

  My information is some years old, but last I heard other teams at Amazon do at least keep track of what their retail AWS costs would be.
