You have that backwards. Everything runs in AWS except serving raw video bits from very stripped down boxes in data centers around the world. Those boxes in the CDN do literally nothing but serve video files via https very quickly.

Openconnect does not serve https it's http, although they are evaluating using https.

I'm 100% sure it is https (I worked there). But if you don't believe me you can sniff your network traffic the next time you play a movie on Netflix. :)
