Amagi -

1. Amagi (company) – a cloud broadcast and targeted advertising platform for TV and streaming.
2. Amagi (mountain/volcano) – Mount Amagi in Japan’s Izu Peninsula, famous in history and literature.
3. Amagi (ship) – a WWII Japanese aircraft carrier or a battlecruiser.
4. Amagi (mythological/literary) – references in The Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyōkai) or other anime.

Because Amagi is cloud-native, if one AWS region goes down, the channel fails over to another region instantly (often in milliseconds). There is no "snow day" for Amagi-powered channels.
