Amazon offers something not has fancy (but maybe more flexible?)
VT1 instances can support streams up to 4K UHD resolution at 60 frames per second (fps) and can transcode up to 64 simultaneous 1080p60 streams in real time.
One thing is that a place like netflix has got to have a LOT of target formats (think of range of devices netflix delivers to). ASICS sometimes struggle when faced with this needed flexibility.
