> If Netflix can trust its entire business to AWS, I think anyone can.

This is a terrible argument. Netflix is simply a media streaming company, with very little importance compared to other businesses. Most of its data is served from its own CDN!

So how many businesses are actually important?

Check out a few of Netflix's blog posts, AWS re-invent presentations (available on YouTube), the podcast interview, I posted earlier, and thier open source project. Netflix uses a lot of AWS services.

I don’t think you have an understanding of the complexity behind Netflix. Their tech blog is a great resource that provides insight into some of their engineering challenges. I’d highly recommend.

Edit: just realized I duplicated scarface74’s comment. My bad!

I’m very familiar with Netflix’s tooling and orchestration stack, and have had discussions with several of their engineers.
