No, the vast majority of Netflix’ traffic is exchanged directly with ISPs

You’re repeating what I just said, essentially, just putting “No” in front of it. And then just describing back to me what I just posted as an image. Movies are pushed out to the OCAs. The code that makes Netflix what Netflix is, is on AWS, and it’s far more than “authentication.” S3 storage, database, caching, analytics, recommendation algorithms, video transcoding. Pushing out new OCA builds. AWS.

True the last mile - ISP-to-home - is not on AWS typically for the actual movie stream. But you’re still going through AWS to access the “app.”

I wrote that very little of Netflix’s traffic is via AWS, you responded that you don’t need think so. The traffic on AWS is tiny compared to Netflix’s overall traffic.

I tried to send a DM but not sure if I did it right. No worries, I am taking about the last mile and you are talking about the rest.

Very little bandwidth wise, but if AWS goes down, I’m pretty certain no one is watching Netflix (multi-region redundancy is hard enough, let alone multi-cloud provider).
