Infrequent-access and archive tiers offer lower storage costs but charge higher retrieval fees, making them ideal for data accessed less than once a month.
Are there data transfer costs for cloud storage?
Yes. Ingress (uploading data) is typically free, but egress (downloading or transferring data out) is charged per GB. Costs vary by provider and destination — transfers within the same region are cheapest, while cross-region and internet-bound transfers cost more.
