Kirk,
You said less than $10 a month. I took a look at the AWS Cost
Calculator and couldn’t figure out how to use it.
I anticipate using S3 for the sole purpose of sharing files that
average around 500mb with a few pushing 1gb. We might have at most 10 or so
requests a month and each uploaded file would have at most a 24 hour lifespan.
Any idea what we might expect our cost to be?
It looks like we would fit well in their 1 year Free Usage Tier. It
comes with 5gb of storage/month, but how is that calculated if files are
uploaded and then deleted after 24 hours such that for most of the time our
bucket(s) would be empty.
Correct me if I am wrong, but If I understand their web site I should
be able to use the Free Tier for development and when I deploy my client can do
the same for their first year.
Thanks,
John
