B2 is horribly unstable, has limits left and right and most of all, the latency is horrendous. You will be better off using any standard OpenStack provider. That way you won't have a lock in, and great performance (in my testing). E.g. OpenStack Swift on OVH. Sure it's a tiny bit more expensive. But you get a mature cross-provider API and better performance. Even for huge chunks of cold data, I wouldn't want to use B2.

I am uploading encrypted backups from servers to BackBlaze B2 Cloud Storage using duply/duplicity. This works pretty well for me. Latency is not important for this use case and I have not noticed any limits. There were a few upload failures initially, but I just increased the upload retries, which sufficiently remedied this problem. That it works so well for me might be connected to the fact that their own products are backup solutions. In any case, I am now paying a significantly less monthly fee for B2 than on Amazon S3 before and the setup had a much lower complexity.

What are some good OpenStack providers? and are there any that can 11 nines durability?

  I know at least that Rackspace has a hosted Swift storage service. Of the storage integrations I've worked on, Swift was probably the most error-prone to get your integration stable, though. I guess that's just a credit to the robustness of the S3 client APIs and services that copy it (Ceph, GCS).

  OVH is pretty good and very cheap.

Thanks for sharing. This is news to me. I haven't ever seen a bad review of B2 over the internets. Can you elaborate further? How stable is Wasabi?

I took a look at OVH's Object Storage (which you mentioned) https://www.ovh.com/us/public-cloud/storage/object-storage/ https://www.ovh.com/us/public-cloud/storage/object-storage/ It looks really promising, and pricing is very reasonable. Thank you for pointing it out.
