What goes into the cost of using Object Storage

The cost of Object Storage usage is based on:

  • The amount of storage used by your data.
  • The number of operations on your data.
  • The amount of outgoing traffic

Users can access:

  • Cold storage: A low rate for data storage and a high rate for operations. It's optimal for storing large amounts of data and performing a small number of operations.
  • Standard storage: A high rate for data storage and a low rate for operations. It's optimal for storing small amounts of data and performing a large number of operations.

In all calculations, 1 GB = 230 bytes.

  • The minimum billable unit for PUT and POST operations is 10.
