Amazon Web Services (AWS) said The Walt Disney Company is leveraging AWS for the global rollout of Disney+. The Walt Disney Company relies on AWS as its preferred public cloud infrastructure provider to support the growth of Disney+. Leveraging AWS’s infrastructure, Disney has been able to rapidly expand Disney+ to 59 countries across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.
Disney+ is expanding its use of AWS’s services to include more than 50 technologies, such as machine learning, database, storage, content delivery, serverless, and analytics. For example, Disney+ uses Amazon Kinesis and Amazon DynamoDB to ingest content, metadata, and billions of customer actions each day, which enables viewers to add content to their Watch Lists, and start watching a video and pick it up on a different device, or make recommendations for what to watch next. Disney+ also uses Amazon Timestream to monitor the efficacy of its streaming platform to ensure that users continue to have access to the highest quality video content.
