What's the largest cloud provider that does NOT offer a Netflix-like streaming video service? Amazon/AWS, Microsoft/Azure, and Google Cloud all have offer premium streaming content of some type. IBM Cloud?

I presume amorphid is referring to the tech stack supported in Azure and not a consumer facing service.

(MSNBC would be a video streaming service that bears Microsoft's initials, but they sold off their stake in 2012)

They have premium content which can be streamed. Perhaps not Netflix-like in there business model.
