Options with disk:
- Persistent ~0.05/GB, nothing extra from throughput
- Hyperdisk ~0.10/GB, pay for throughput
Options with Cloud:
- Standard 0.02/GB, 0.0004 per read, 0 per GB throughput
- Nearline 0.01/GB, 0.001 per read, 0.01 per GB throughput
- Coldline 0.005/GB, 0.01 per read, 0.02 per GB throughput
What would that look like if we're serving ~80 TB?
Persistent disk: 80e12 / 1e9 * 0.05 = $4,000 Hyperdisk: more than twice that; we should only use this if we need the performance gain, and I doubt we do. Standard: $1,600 + ... this all depends on how we store stuff. If we store individual images, it will get ridiculously expensive. 80 TB of 500KB images would cost $64,000 to download. But 80 TB of 1GB files would only cost $32 Nearline: Half of standard, but same thing about file sizes applies. Coldline: Same...
As long as we're not paying for throughput (i.e. we don't have millions of individual files), we're fine with Standard Cloud Storage: https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing#north-america.
Assess whether buckets are a cheaper and more efficient option to store Multinet v0 internally, compared to attached persistent disks
