A big shining place is in DDoS mitigation. We demo'ed some in-house built replacements for $VENDOR and found it to be cost-effective to do some more easily implemented parts in-house.
Based on some of my discussions with folks, I think people overestimate the cost-effectiveness of not doing some HW offload/out of kernel packet path stuff in specialized situations. Anyway, Amazon is looking for folks to work on their in-house DDoS mitigation pipeline per the reqs that float my way.
