I looked into glacier pricing a while back it's..tricky. It looks super cheap up front, but gets extremely expensive if you ever need to get the data out of glacier.
- prepend 6y agoExtremely expensive in terms of storage, but still much cheaper than S3. I consider it as a mitigation against disaster and expect to never retrieve other than for testing the process. So it seems good for extremely low probability, high impact events. And I trust amazon to meet their SLA.
- teraflop 6y agoDepending on how long ago you checked it out (relative to the ~9 years since Glacier was first announced) it might be worth another look. It's still quite expensive if you ever need to retrieve data in a hurry, but it used to also have a complicated and unintuitive pricing model that made it extremely easy to accidentally spend orders of magnitude more money than you intended to. They redesigned the pricing structure in 2016 to make it a lot more straightforward.
- gruez 6y ago>It's still quite expensive if you ever need to retrieve data in a hurry The real killer is the $0.09/GB egress fees. That dwarfs the $0.00099/GB/month storage fee and the $0.0025/GB bulk retrieval fee.
