FOX on AWS
FOX Corporation (FOX) produces and distributes news, sports, and entertainment content. Fox re-imagined itself in 2019, leaving behind legacy infrastructure and using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to transform its existing operations. Leveraging the scale and reliability of AWS, FOX broadcasts thousands of high-profile events, such as the Super Bowl LIV, to millions of viewers, and fosters innovation by building new ways to produce and deliver media.
FOX's Cloud Journey
FOX continues to innovate using AWS media, data, and compute solutions while migrating to the cloud. After transitioning over 8 petabytes of content from on-premises in 6 weeks, FOX built MediaCloud on AWS to process and distribute programming with more functionality and speed, achieving an industry first to deliver uncompressed live video with zero redundancy. Using machine learning (ML), FOX generates natural language in-game storylines for live sports commentaries.

FOX Corporation Delivers Content to Millions by Building FOX MediaCloud on AWS
[2020] When an acquisition in early 2019 required the separation of assets, FOX had to migrate massive amounts of content from its on-premises MediaCloud platform, which handled distribution of television and theatrical content to various video-on-demand and broadcast endpoints. FOX turned to AWS for the support and tools that made it possible to move the entire operation to the cloud, taking advantage of both Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), ML, automation, and other solutions to make the ingestion, transcoding, and delivery of content a seamless process.
Working with AWS, we’ve reinvented how we produce and distribute content to our consumers across all platforms and devices using the cloud. We’ve transformed our existing operation, but more importantly we’ve laid the tracks for the future in a way that will help us innovate and adapt for many years to come.
