WEEK 6 DISCUSSION
Week 6 Discussion
Many companies have migrated to the cloud. One such company is Netflix. The movie-
streaming company has made a comeback since it was deemed to have fallen in the eyes of
consumers and stock market after proposing that the company be split into two. Today, Netflix is
making its own shows and dealing with many problems and handling a huge number of
customers at the same time. With this, Netflix migrated to the cloud. However, the main reason
for the company migrating was because it had outpaced the capabilities of its traditional data
centers and wanted more scalability in order to meet increasing demand and ballooning activities
(Datta, 2020).
To successfully migrate to the cloud, Netflix chose Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the
provider (Datta, 2020). In comparison to other providers, AWS provided Netflix with the greatest
scalability capabilities as well as availability features. It took about seven years for Netflix to
fully migrate their data centers from on-premises to cloud. Today, the company has completely
migrated to the cloud. Since Netflix migrated to the cloud, it has benefited from several
advantages associated with cloud computing. First, the company has successfully reduced its
costs and complexity because of cloud migration. Additionally, the company now has the
capability of scaling either up or down its resources based on demand (Datta, 2020).
Besides the company benefitting directly, the cloud migration has also benefitted its
customers. Netflix’s services and content is now reliable and available to its customers always as
it the content has been distributed across multiple regions and zones. Additionally, there is less
failure and outage which has been beneficial to customers (Datta, 2020). Netflix successfully to

applications and instances for peak performance. Additionally, the Coca-Cola Company can
learn to maintain a focus on cloud operations and governance similar to what Netflix has done
(Datta, 2020).
