More AWS Price Drops: Glacier, CloudWatch, Storage Gateway Amazon Web Services (AWS), recently announced a new round of cost-cutting measures for several of its cloud services. AWS’ cloud storage offerings, Simple Storage Service (S3) Glacier, Storage Gateway and CloudWatch Custom Metrics are all affected. AWS is lowering the per GB cost of S3 Standard Storage in most regions by up to 28 percent. It is also reorganizing the pricing structure, moving from six tiers down to three. Jeff Barr, AWS evangelist, illustrated the S3 price changes in this table. [Click on the image for a larger view] S3 Standard Storage pricing, effective Dec. 1. Source: Jeff Barr/AWS blog. Barr pointed out that the S3 service was launched 10 years ago at a starting price $0.15 per GB per monthly — a lot compared to today’s much lower costs. AWS has also reduced the cost of Glacier’s archival storage service to customers in most of its regions. Barr stated that 1GB can be stored for 1 month in the US East, Norther Virginia, US West, Oregon, or EU (Ireland), for $0.004 (less then half a cent per month, a 43% reduction). For reference, this amount of storage cost $0.010 in 2012 when Glacier was launched and $0.007 in 2013 after a 30% price drop. The company will also replace its rate-based model to retrieve data from Glacier by three new options.
The Standard retrieval option costs $0.01 per gigabyte and $0.05 for each 1,000 requests. The “Expedited” retrieval option returns data requests in five minutes and costs $0.03 per gigabyte (or $0.01 per request). Bulk retrievals are for non-critical data and take between five to 12 hours. They cost $0.0025 per gigabyte and $0.025 per 1,000 […]
