Frequently asked questions

Storage itself is usually the smallest part. Requests, egress charges, early-deletion fees and retrieval charges from archive tiers are what actually drive the bill.
They move cold objects to infrequent-access or archive tiers automatically. For data that is read less than once a quarter, archiving can cut storage cost by 80–90%.
Cloud providers charge for data leaving their network because that is where competition bites. Serving content through a CDN often reduces net egress cost despite the extra layer.
