Netflix doesn't rely on a single provider for hardware, data centers, nor bandwidth. Sure they use EC2 for some things, but also have a great deal of hardware in data centers throughout the country, as well as custom hardware in ISP data centers, etc. I'd be shocked if there didn't use some of the other cloud provider offering too.
Netflix has no single point of failure.
Building your business around a single cloud provider creates a single point of failure.
Could you elaborate a little?
