The Netflix part is inaccurate. While Netflix does use AWS for billing, logins, etc., they do not use it for streaming - that would cost way too much. AWS is cheap for things like sites but not video. That's why Netflix has built a network of caches stored at places like your local ISP to reduce bandwidth and lower costs, while still using AWS for things that are not bandwidth intensive.
@Tusk_Tact5 жыл бұрын
That's a recent thing. I worked for VZ during the time Netflix and them were going back and forth. At that point AWS was their CDN and it was peering between VZ/MCI and AWS that was the actual issue. Many legacy ILEC don't allow Netflix co-location still
@dennisp85205 жыл бұрын
What's funny is that my college actually built their own Cache as well for sites like Netflix to reduce bandwidth consumption. So honestly, companies like Netflix sometimes don't even need to invest because it just makes sense for ISPs at times.
