I wonder what portion of Youtube's request traffic can be served with cache servers at the edge with a few hundred terabytes of storage. There's a very long tail but i would guess a significant portion of their traffic is the top ~10,000 videos at any given moment.

There was a Google organised hackathon on this topic. Given a set of resources, locations, and (estimated) popularity, Optimise for video load time by determining what should be moved to the cache when and where.

I’m not sure as I don’t work at Google and didn’t see any follow up. Maybe some in the winning teams would know.
I do think there is some temporal logic already present in Google’s algorithm which wasn’t part of the challenge.
