Purpose of this blog

I will be using this blog to update the progress of my class project, which will be explained below.

YouTube and Cloud computing


Youtube is using cloud as their platform. However, they limit access to some newly-released videos when there are too many requests coming concurrently. This can happen for days.

My questions:
-What is the real situation (how many requests that need to be submitted for Youtube to start limiting access, hence the limit of cloud computing's capacity) ?
-Are there any reasons why Youtube is not working on it, or if they are trying to fix that, what are stopping them from achieving any results so far?
