Depends on what you're doing. It's still way cheaper to host block storage at home than most any cloud provider right now.

Yeah, that's a pretty big deal. Costs add up quickly on S3 even with Glacier.

But I agree, often AWS is better for your lab than a home server, particularly if what you need to test is clustering.

Also, Elastic Filestore over a VPN connection is not a particularly great experience ;)
