Case study of companies that got benefitted from AWS:
AWS(Amazon Web Services) Sharpness:
AWS is a subsidiary of Amazon providing on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies and governments on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. These cloud computing web services provide a variety of basic abstract technical infrastructure and distributed computing building blocks and tools.
whether it is technology giants, television network ,bank, food manufacturers or government many different organizations are using AWS to develop, deploy and host applications.
A look at AWS users:
- Netflix: $19 Million
- Twich: $15Million
- LinkedIn: $13Million
- Facebook: $11Million
- Turner Broadcasting: $10Million
- BBC: $9Million
- Baidu: $9Million
- ESPN:$8Million
- Adobe : $8Million
- Twitter: $7Million
NETFLIX got benefitted from AWS like as follows:
NETFLIX case Study:
Online Content provider Netflix can support seamless global services by using AWS. AWS enables Netflix to quickly deploy thousands of servers and terabytes of storage within minutes. Netflix is the world’s leading internet television network, with more than 100 Million members in more than 190 countries enjoying 125 million hours of TV shows and movies each day. Netflix was originally a DVD shipping business where they would send out DVDs of your chosen programs to you. This was going well until 2008 where they experienced a major database loss and for 3 days could not ship out any DVDs to their customers. That was when the senior management at Netflix realized that they had to shift from continuous vertical scaling which leads to single points of failure to a more reliable and scalable horizontal scaling system.
Application Monitoring:
Netflix uses Amazon Web Services (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. This results in an extremely complex and dynamic networking environment where applications are constantly communicating inside AWS and across the Internet. Monitoring and optimizing its network is critical for Netflix to continue improving customer experience, increasing efficiency, and reducing costs.
The AWS Opportunity
For many different organisations, the use of AWS is evidently widespread. But it’s not just interesting to see companies of varying industries implementing Amazon’s cloud tools.
They’re also using it for different use cases, whether it’s mitigating cyber security threats or developing faster websites. The opportunity here is huge.
How Netflix Uses AWS Lambda to Build Rule-Based, Self-Managing Infrastructure to Increase Efficiency
2014
Netflix is one of the world’s largest online media streaming providers, delivering almost 7 billion hours of videos to nearly 50 million customers in 60 countries per quarter. The company is planning to use AWS Lambda to build rule-based, self-managing infrastructure and replace inefficient processes to reduce the rate of errors and save valuable time. Watch Neil Hunt, Netflix’s chief product officer, explain how the company can use event-based triggers to help automate the encoding process of media files, the validation of backup completions and instance deployments at scale, and the monitoring of AWS resources used by the organization.
