Amazon S3 Removes Pence From Heavy Users

amazon web servicesLast April Amazon reduced pricing on data transfer on their Amazon S3 online storage service. Yesterday Amazon announced plans to reduce the price for the storage portion of S3. Basic users won’t see a change as the base price remains 15 cents per TB.

For heavy users, the pricing moves to a tiered model. Over 50 TB of storage is 14 cents/TB and it gradually lowers to 12 cents/TB over 500 TB of storage. I wonder how many Amazon S3 clients are using over 500 TB of data storage. It’s like saying if you drive more than 30,000 miles in a month in your car, we will give you 20 cents off each gallon of gas.

We were using S3 for all static files on CN but I’ve found in my travels that the domain didn’t resolve correctly so images and CSS files would appear broken. I must have set something wrong in the DNS.
