Netflix has no in house data centers, after a failure some years ago, they outsourced everything.. Part of the content is handled through "edge" colocation data centers closer to customers for latency/resiliency reasons, the "business critical" is all on AWS.

Agreed it's not a nice place to work, I had them as a customer, and the churn of 3 global directors for "commodity" sourcing (electrical infrastructure) in 18 months was bad..

As to %age, AWS still says they do 100%, independent sites say "most" (2 versions of the story below):
