> do you think managing IAM and Terraform is free?

No, but I would argue that a SaaS offering, where the whole maintenance of the storage system is maintained for you actually requires less maintenance hours than hosting 30 PB in a colo.

In terraform you define the S3 bucket and run terraform apply. Afterwards the company's credit card is the limit. Setting up and operating 30 PB yourself is an entirely different story.
