Answer 1

Amazon S3 in combination with Amazon CloudFront as scalable CDN is pretty streight forward and good to build great video solutions, even Netflix-like systems using adaptive bitrate (ABR) video in HTML5 using the Media Source Extentions with MPEG-DASH or HLS, like done by Netflix or Youtube.
