Netflix Loses Its Cloud Guru to a VC Firm

I wish we could observe a parallel universe where Netflix went a different route and stayed with dedicated or went with colocation. I'd love to compare the outcome with their decision to go with AWS (minus CDN).

Does Netflix get special pricing for AWS? With their scale, they could probably negotiate with Amazon for lower rates.

Foolish me. I thought this tweet (<a href="https://twitter.com/HackerNewsOnion/status/420716053140742144" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;HackerNewsOnion&#x2F;status&#x2F;42071605314074214...</a>) was a joke.
