We moved to AWS a few years ago, after self-hosting our own storage for years. What a nightmare.. The egress fees were killing us, so we had to find something else. Being weary of these large tech companies, and being that these days we're more privacy conscious as well. We found a new startup that outsources storage nodes to individuals / businesses. You have to install what they call a "relayer" on prem. The relayer is the S3 endpoint. It breaks up the data and encrypts it before sending each piece to a different node on the network. No centralized behemoth holding us hostage over our data and no egress fees. We're a smaller company, so I was able to talk them into trying it out. I doubt you'd be able to talk an enterprise into using a lesser-known technology though.

is AWS Outpost not an option?

Was not familiar with AWS Outpost and honestly just want to get away from the monopolistic tech companies. Though I'm curious. Isn't this product just a way to interface with the storage as you would if it were stored on AWS servers? We would be storing the data locally?
