Who else?
- thomasjudge 1y agoHow about S3 Glacier?
- manquer 1y agoAlmost every cloud provider outside of Azure and GCP have an s3 compatible offering . S3 API is de-facto standard for object storage tooling Cloudflare, scaleway, hetzner, OVH, Oracle, minio and dozens of others all have s3 compatible object stores Most of them expect AWS have at least inter cloud transfer free (or discount Azure and GCP) being part of bandwidth alliance(BWA). AWS S3 pricing is designed to keep you in the ecosystem , not be the cheapest, so tend to be costliest not cheapest unless your workload is archival. For almost all non archival workloads egress costs will be on par or much higher than storage costs and AWS[1] charges a lot for any bandwidth. AWS also makes migration really expensive so if you started with them, you are likely stuck as you would have to pay up to 10-12 months of cost to migrate out if you are on anything but the standard tier (cheaper the tiers higher the retrieval costs) [1] All tier one providers have 10-20x b/w costs compared to tier two , however Azure and GCP discount for inter cloud transfers AWS does not https://www.cloudflare.com/bandwidth-alliance/ https://www.cloudflare.com/bandwidth-alliance/
- memset 1y agoUnderstood. Are there lesser-known providers that I could consider for hobby projects?
- j45 1y agoWasabi seems reasonable.
- Manouchehri 1y agoGCP has an S3 compatible endpoint for GCS. I’ve used it and it works fine. It’s only Azure that isn’t on the S3 API train.
- manquer 1y agoYeah you are right, thank you the correction. I vaguely remembered they announced it, but didn't find it on a quick search, thought maybe I was wrong.
