The virtualization and networking platform could be datacenter based, with something like VMware, or cloud based using one of the cloud providers such as AWS EC2. Above that there’s a deployment platform such as Kubernetes or AWS Lambda. Netflix made many contributions to open source projects by it’s cloud platform team.
