Amazon S3 on Outposts (more info at https://aws.amazon.com/s3/outposts/ https://aws.amazon.com/s3/outposts/ ) runs on-premises, offers durable storage, high throughput, the S3 API, currently scales to 380 TB, and doesn't require you to watch for and deal with failing disks.
I believe that it addresses many of the OP's reasons for deciding against S3.

- gunapologist99 5y agoHey, let's be fair. The storage-optimized instances start at only $425,931. ;)

- rodgerd 5y agoHave Outposts fixed their "always-on, lose connectivity, lose your outpost" problem that they had when I first asked about them? Can they scale down to "I need to spin up an S3 thing for local testing" for the cost of the storage and CPU? Am I locked into a multi-year agreement, or can I just go and throw it away in a month and stop paying?
