The standard S3 tier, sure, but Deep Glacier would be about $250/month. Retrieval can be up to 12 hours but that shouldn't really be a problem for long term archiving. As with anything AWS, egress can kill you, but you can sidestep that with something like Snowball, and really that's only an issue if you need to egress everything to migrate the archive.
- LoganDark 3y ago> you can sidestep that with something like Snowball Going by AWS's website[0], a 50 TB Snowball is $200, so you'd need to drop $1000 for five Snowballs to hold that data.

- Sanzig 3y agoIt's about $20k to egress 250 TB from AWS, so you still come out way ahead.
- erik_seaberg 3y agoAnyone contemplating Snowball or Snowmobile needs to be aware that they always charge the per-GB price for data egress, on top of the hardware rental and shipping.
- Sanzig 3y agoAh damn, you're right. Looks like it's cheaper than the internet egress fee (looks like $0.02/GB versus $0.09/GB if I'm interpreting the pricing table correctly?). Azure's glacier equivalent might be worth a look in that case, since their egress is usually a lot cheaper.
- msh 3y agoThe webpage says: Data transfers into Amazon S3 are free.
- erik_seaberg 3y agoEgress means that cost of getting your data back from S3 someday.
- imtringued 3y agoDeep glacier is unviable for anything except partial retrieval.
