Super Simple Storage Service

I'm guessing this is a competitor to S3 Glacier Deep Archive since you aren't meant to read from it. They don't seem to provide information on how you get your data out. Maybe they will mail your drives with your data?

Nah, that's why they're so cheap even compared to the competition. There is no read option. There's effectively no cost because there's no retrieval infrastructure!

(In case you completely missed it, this site is satire, similar to /dev/null-as-a-service, etc)

Maybe someone should to an Ask HN: what happens when you request your S3 glacier data. I use it, but frankly it seems more like a protection racket given the costs of getting anything out of there.

Test your backups.

Read time for me has been measured in minutes or sub hour, but the data isn’t huge.

I keep those glacier'd files on tape as well.
