They didn't indicate that this was confidential, nor do we have an NDA,
so...

This is a snippet of the information.

CDN Partners
32 Prime Video uses multiple CDN partners to deliver our live content. We
deploy a predetermined configuration giving weights to
33 each of the CDNs based on their reported capacity, but the actual live
streams delivery is determined by performance. We work
34 with our ISP partners to validate the available capacity so that we do
not create undue stress on the ISP network during peak
35 events. The use of multiple CDNs with flexible weights provides us the
ability to dynamically shift traffic in case of performance
36 degradation, or outages within a single CDN.
37 The table below summarizes the CDN partners we plan to use (subject to
adjustment), and the function and protocol supported
38 by each CDN. The actual traffic load on each CDN partner is based on
their performance and available capacity.
