Google Nearline seems to be $0.01 / GB / month which would be about $24 / year for you. Sounds good since you can retrieve data whenever you want without any extra cost. I would probably use that for my backups if I ran out of space on my normal storage.
- lucaspiller 10y agoThe retrieval cost for Nearline is also $0.01/GB [0], still compared to Glacier's pricing, it makes a lot more sense. [0] https://cloud.google.com/storage/archival/ https://cloud.google.com/storage/archival/ - At the bottom
- hga 10y agoBut per this announcement Google's new "Coldline" storage hits the AWS Glacier 0.7 cents/GB/month price point, and without Glacier's mindboggling operational and billing complexity, long delays on retrievals, and I think the particularly huge bills if you need a lot of that data all at once, i.e. for restoring a backup. (Can't remember the Glacier numbers for the latter (too complicated for me to remember), but Google makes Coldline retrieval simple, 5 cents/GB.) In fact, it's implied they believe Coldline is the biggest new thing they're doing, for it's the first thing in the announcement they discuss in detail. It's certainly got me interested.
