How do renewals work? With S3 I upload something and then pay for it + bandwidth until I delete it. Would I need to know how long I need storage for ahead of time? Estimated bandwidth?
I run a video rendering service that currently uploads previews (call it 5-10mb) to S3 for ~3 days and then deletes them. Finished renders (~50-200mb) are stored for 2 weeks. I upload 500-1000 new files a day.
Amazon just bills me for this once a month. Would I need to load up a wallet and prepay each of these contracts individually? How would I send out a download link or play a video in a browser?
- Taek 7y agoYou give Sia a budget and it does a pay-as-you-go with the budget. You can set how long you want the contracts to last, by default it's 3 months. That means you budget for 3 months of storage, and then you don't need to pay into Sia again for 3 months. Anything that you paid for but didn't use will be refunded in full at the end of the 3 months. Right now Sia does not support filesharing of any kind, however that's in the mid-term (6-12 months) roadmap.
