Seems you’re trying to bring your on-premise structure and concepts to the cloud, that won’t work. EC2 instances are cattle, not pets.

I believe I saw a slide that average lifespan of an EC2 instance at Netflix is 14 minutes.

I’m not necessarily saying cloud will work for your setup, but you can’t compare like that.

It seems to me like they're not trying to bring on-prem to the cloud, and that's very much the point.

Most businesses are not Netflix, where most of the work is done by their OpenConnect CDN appliances serving video content outside of cloud providers.
