I mean, amazon (shopping, along with prime video e.t.c.) runs on AWS.

When I was at AWS, retail was not yet running on AWS. Has that changed?

Prime video does use some AWS services, but live and on-demand are two entirely different beasts.

Really? I thought retail was. It's been almost a decade since I worked at prime video but I think everything was running on AWS. (Some things didn't use brazil etc, but I think all the servers etc. were on AWS)

It's a distinction without a difference. All new development is nAWS (native AWS) legacy is mAWS (not sure about the acronym) which is still AWS under the hood and is mostly just a pool of EC2 instances with preconfigured networks. Nothing made in the last five or six years is on maws, and amazon is a micro service shop so things are always being built new. If you joined today there's a good chance you'd join a team without any maws infra

Prime video uses a non-AWS CDN when I watch football on it here in the UK

The BBC were unable to find a single CDN that could serve the UK during its peak football matches. https://www.bbc.co.uk/webarchive/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk...
