How much does Netflix spend on Amazon AWS?

This is impossible to even ballpark without some insider info. My company for example runs a ton of user facing services on AWS, but the vast majority of costs come from internal data storage and processing pipelines (server logs, analytics, BI/SI dashboards).

Since I&#x27;m a team of one working on some Amazon services for a far smaller customer base, I get a broad slice of different technologies and problems to solve. I can&#x27;t imagine being the person whose job is to manage some slice of the part of the stack that monitors just the billing portion of their aws usage.<p>But contemplating that scale also makes me better understand how these companies end up with hundreds of engineers to manage a product that on the surface really doesn&#x27;t do a whole lot.

I&#x27;ve got to think bandwidth is their largest expenditure... even with all the CDN infrastructure they have in place.<p>AWS bandwidth is extremely expensive - regardless of the negotiated discounts they probably get.

I just hope someone there is getting weekly emails like:<p>&quot;Dear AWS customer:<p>AWS Trusted Advisor currently shows alerts for 12 checks (1 red and 11 yellow) and $18,922,425.23 of potential monthly savings based on your usage.&quot;

TLDR: Netflix gives over $250mil to their competition every year.
