Netflix Uses Amazon FSx for Large-Scale Distributed Training of Media Machine Learning

Netflix deployed its visual effects studio closer to artists using AWS Local Zones, helping it achieve single-digit millisecond latency and keep its remote workstations running smoothly.

Netflix uses AWS to analyze billions of messages across more than 100,000 application instances daily in real time, enabling it to optimize user experience, reduce costs, and improve application resilience.

Netflix 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.

In this AWS re:Invent 2020 session, explore a Netflix tool, ConsoleMe, developed to address this issue securely, reduce inconsistencies and delays experienced by end users, and lower the multi-account management burden.
