Don't forget S3-IA after we released Nearline. Also all those sudden price drops (particularly [1] the day after [2], and just last week the Glacier one [3] after Coldline [4]).
Everyone wins (or at least consumers of Cloud services) from this competition. So I'm glad to hear it!
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

- jedberg 10y ago> Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud. I think our big clue was when you said "after we released Nearline". ;)
- boulos 10y agoI know you're just joking, but I have honestly considered moving the Disclosure line to the top. Besides, maybe folks in Search and Ads can take pride in Cloud, too ;).
- danso 10y agoI appreciated the disclosure...I admit I just didn't even know what Nearline is!
