thanks for all the detailed info!

i find this hard to square with the evidence that the Netflixes of the world still find it worthwhile to pay AWS then. theres no way that they dont have the same problems you do. care to speculate on why they prefer to pay a vendor? (it seems the Dropbox story is the exception that proves the rule)

Netflix doesn't host its actual content on AWS. They built their own CDN and have their own dedicated servers all over the world. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/
