wait, aren't they running anything at all ??? I was 100% sure netflix had the most advanced use of aws ( inventing things like chaos monkey, etc)...

What are they running on ?

They run EVERYTHING but last mile file serving on aws. Encoding, storage, catalog, recommendations, accounts, etc. all of it in AWS.

They have resident cache boxes hooked directly into many ISPs. Those aren't on AWS.

They run their backend on AWS (i.e. accounts, catalogue, watch history, etc.)

They serve their video data using their own custom hardware outside of AWS.
