I didn't know they also had S3 for outposts... that's interesting. That also requires an Outposts rack as opposed to the servers the original article was talking about.
> 380 TB S3 tier is priced at $0.1000/GB-mo ($38,912.00/month)
But it's also extremely expensive. $38K per month for 380 TB of storage. Even if we assume 3X redundancy, you can get 500TB of raw capacity (12-16TB HDDs) for ~ $25k. After 3 months of usage, you'd have already covered that initial expense. I know there are other benefits to having managed services, but again, cost is definitely prohibitive for many use-cases.
I use minio locally to support S3-workloads on our local cluster. We can then migrate workloads to AWS/S3 proper with minimal changes, if needed.
