Here is a really good talk by Adrian Cockcroft[1] from Netflix on this whole project to move to AWS over the last two years. It was given last week at hacker dojo in Mountain View. Video could be better but there is some good stuff in there.

I think he is giving a talk at http://qconsf.com that goes more into the nitty gritty of the software side of things Nov 2nd.

this would be great if the streaming could work internationally (or if they'd develop partners in local countries). iTunes manages so it's not intractable.
