Archive.org uses S3 extensively. Not exactly cheap.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoCan you provide a citation? To my knowledge, the Archive does not use Amazon's S3 storage system (which they refer to in places as "S3" [1]), only they're on their own internal storage system [2].

- noufalibrahim 8y agoTo the best of my knowledge, the Archive has it's own machines to store data. It is an Archive and one of the principles was to have the know how to preserve data even if the cloud providers disappear.
