Total cost of uploading (many) small objects, transitioning to Standard-IA or Glacier-IR, then expiring/deleting after 6 months. Paul Annesley, principal engineer at Buildkite, warns that the new class might not benefit use cases where objects are small:ĭigging into AWS S3's new Glacier Instant Retrieval storage class pricing.

S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval is a new storage class that delivers the fastest access to archive storage, with the same low latency and high-throughput performance as the S3 Standard and S3 Standard-IA storage classes.

A new bucket owner enforced option lets customers disable the ACLs associated with the bucket and the objects.
