I work in IT, I know how storage works. I just don’t know if they’re on prem hosting or primarily using a private cloud service.
I mean they have the money, might as well offload to specialists where you can, right? I wouldn’t be building new infrastructure day and night when I could just have a B to B contract with AWS or something.
I’m not honestly sure if you’re trolling, but I’ll bite anyway. Youtube is owned by Google, who is one of the world’s largest cloud providers. Note that there really is no such thing as ‘off-prem’ for Google, as they have data centers all over the planet at this point. They will actually have multiple copies of the video floating at different levels of storage and different nodes around the world, all automated to tier the data as demand rises and falls.
True, that’s mostly what their cost is. Servers and storage.
I wonder how much YouTube depends on cloud storage right now.
100%? Do you think that there’s some box sitting under someone’s desk hosting Youtube? Hint: They’re owned by Google.
