Netflix on AWS

Netflix is the world’s leading internet television network, with more than 200 million members in more than 190 countries enjoying 125 million hours of TV shows and movies each day. Netflix uses AWS for nearly all its computing and storage needs, including databases, analytics, recommendation engines, video transcoding, and more — hundreds of functions that in total use more than 100,000 server instances on AWS.

the architecture of the services use by Netflix are

Netflix uses Amazon EC2 instance types and features to create a high- performance cloud, achieving near-bare-metal speed for its workloads. This session summarizes the configuration, tuning, and activities for delivering the fastest possible Amazon EC2 instances. Brendan Gregg, a member of the performance and OS engineering team at Netflix, shows how to choose Amazon EC2 instance types, how to choose between Xen modes (HVM, PV, or PVHVM), and the importance of Amazon EC2 features such SR-IOV for bare-metal performance. He also covers basic and advanced kernel tuning and monitoring, including the use of Java and Node.js flame graphs and performance counters.

Netflix uses AWS to cost-effectively scale to deliver billions of hours of content each month to customer devices around the world, including smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs, PCs, Macs and game consoles.

Netflix has been an AWS customer since 2006 and relies on the infrastructure services provided by AWS to deliver its content securely and reliably at a massive scale. In addition, Netflix uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) for computing resources; Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for database instances; Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for storage; Amazon CloudFront for content delivery network (CDN) bandwidth capacity; Elastic Load Balancing for load balancing across multiple data centre locations; Auto Scaling Groups for automatically adding or removing servers depending upon fluctuating demand from customers; DynamoDB NoSQL database as an alternative choice for highly scalable applications that require rapid access time without traditional relational database management system (RDBMS) features such as transactions or referential integrity constraints

Netflix does not have any data centres or IT staff dedicated to maintaining its own infrastructure.

Netflix does not have any data centres or IT staff dedicated to maintaining its own infrastructure. In fact, Netflix is one of the world’s largest cloud customers. This means that Amazon Web Services (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon and an official partner of Netflix, manages all aspects of its technical operation.

Netflix uses AWS to cost-effectively scale to deliver billions of hours of content each month to customer devices around the world with minimal lag and high-quality video streams. To learn more about how AWS helps Netflix stream at scale read here.

Netflix doesn’t share information about its costs, but it is safe to assume that it is saving millions by using AWS and paying only for the capacity it needs.

It’s not cheap to build and run a data center. Netflix, as you might expect from a company that serves billions of video streams each month, is a big user of AWS. It doesn’t share information about its costs with the public, but it is safe to assume that it is saving millions by using AWS and paying only for the capacity it needs. As Netflix’s VP of cloud computing architecture Adrian Cockcroft said in 2014:

“When we started using Amazon Web Services, our first thought was ‘We’ll just buy some servers,’ then we quickly realized that wasn’t going to be cost-effective.”

The lesson here? If you’re trying to build something new or scale up your existing business model, don’t try and do it all yourself — cloud computing will save you money and time while allowing you more control over your IT infrastructure than ever before!

The reason Netflix can deliver video over the internet so quickly is that they use cloud services.

Netflix is a cloud company. The reason Netflix can deliver video over the internet so quickly is that they use cloud services. Netflix is not, however, a “pure” cloud service provider. The company does have its own data centres and IT staff dedicated to maintaining its infrastructure (which is why it doesn’t share information about its costs).

Netflix uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) for cost-effectively scaling its global infrastructure on demand and for other technical benefits such as better availability of resources than could be achieved through self-hosting.

Conclusion

Netflix is just one example of how cloud computing has changed the face of software development. With so many companies relying on the cloud, it’s clear that this trend isn’t going away anytime soon.
