From on-demand to live: how Netflix adjusted its cloud operations https://www.cloudcomputing-news.net/news/from-on-demand-to-live-how-netflix-adjusted-its-cloud-operations/ Mon, 29 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000 https://www.cloudcomputing-news.net/?p=111627 Live video changes the pressure on a streaming business. Unlike on-demand shows, live events do not allow for retries, quiet fixes, or delayed updates. If something fails, viewers notice immediately. Over the past year, Netflix has been reworking how it handles that risk by building live streaming directly into its core cloud systems, rather than […]

Why Nutanix sees sovereign cloud changing https://www.cloudcomputing-news.net/news/why-nutanix-sees-sovereign-cloud-changing/ Thu, 18 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000 https://www.cloudcomputing-news.net/?p=111602 For years, sovereign cloud discussions have focused on geography. Data had to stay inside a country, infrastructure had to sit in defined borders, and control was assumed to follow location. But that model is starting to break down. AI workloads, distributed applications, and stricter oversight rules are pushing organisations to rethink what sovereignty actually means […]
