Docker Is Raising Funding at $1.3B Valuation

Dropbox is now at petabyte scale. Last I had a conversation with someone at Dropbox they mentioned they’re moving storage in-house but still use quite a bit of AWS for service.

I think hybrid totally makes sense where you take the most expensive part bare metal with limited scope of maintenance.

I'd assume Dropbox is at least hexabyte scale.

1 PB is $23k per month on S3. It's nothing. That's barely the costs of 1-2 employees in SV.

The migration itself would take a lot more effort than one dude, even if there was a solution for completely free storage out there, the migration could only result in a huge net loss.
