The percentages are actually as a percentage of the total volume size (500GB).
Yes, the pricing for Infrequent Access would make migrating that series pretty much a wash as you say. But if you achieve 2 or 3x compression, which is very realistic for MySQL for example, then it becomes a lot cheaper.
Also if you can use Glacier instead of Infrequent Access it cuts the cost significantly, to $0.0036 per GB-month.
Ah gotchya. I didn't even notice the 500GB. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the percentages sho the difference between the current snap and the previous snap, since snaps are all based on a lineage?
In your experience, is moving snaps with > 30% change the way to go to achieve savings? With little impact to remaining snaps?
G'day,
I am reading https://www.npmjs.com/package/snap-to-s3, specifically the section around "Analyzing a Cost and Usage report".
Looking at this example:
How are you exactly calculating the percentage difference between snap 1 and 2? I'm not clear how 261.7 is 52% of 448? 448 * .52 = 232. Same with snap 2 and 3 - there's 60% change between the snaps.
I'm probably just interpreting incorrectly - and help is appriciated :)
Bonus question: Is the recomendation to move anything >30% changed to archive (even though archive is a full image? The total billed storage for these snaps is about 1904GB. So 1904 x 0.0550000000 = 104.72 USD approx.
But if I moved these 7 snaps @ 448GB each to archive, that would be 3136GB x $0.0125=$39. But then this snap's change % would increase, so you would be slightly billed more.
Sorry for the silly questions! Just trying to work out the best strategy to move snaps to archive.
