Yup. I plugged the numbers in just to check it out and for our very busy service, the storage costs eat up the savings from the reduced GET and PUT pricing. For us, express is still 8x more expensive.

We're pursuing Fsx NetApp ONTAP to store the objects in the short term in our processing pipeline. Unfortunately, we may need to build our own lifecycle management component if we go that route.

Why would anyone use Netapp over Qumulo in AWS? AFAIK, Qumulo is much less expensive and has better performance if you have a lot of data.

I'll have to look into that. We heavily bias towards AWS offered managed services. We have a massive enterprise support contract and we use it. We're almost always going to look for something AWS can provide directly as long as it meets the requirements.
