Netflix serves an evening rush concentrated in the 4 US time zones; they actually use elasticity.

Netflix is also almost certainly far into the "contact us" price tiers, so they're a useless example for cost-effectiveness of AWS unless/until they actually publish what they pay. If it's anything near the listed tiers, they're being ripped off, based on what little I know of the kind of discounts much smaller players have negotiated.
