- Netflix transitions 100% of IT services into the cloud: Not only into the cloud, but into the public cloud apparently...What's interesting is that Netflix's migration to the cloud started several years ago after a major hardware failure in-house. Sounds like they made a strategic decision to outsource low-value work and concentrate their IT skills in areas where they really add value, such as streaming and customer insights.
