Yesterday I uploaded 12GB to Glacier and big surprise for me was price per upload request: $0.055 per 1,000 requests Command line tool[1] split my 12GB into 1mb chunks and generate around 12k requests: $0.055 per 1,000 requests 12,694 Requests $0.70 So bigger chunks are cheaper, but probably generate more retries.
