Yeah, that didn't add up for me too. Storage for a single machine shouldn't add up to hundreds of dollars a month unlesa you're not really trying to manage your data (by culling datasets, using compression, etc.)

Thanks for the catch! Actually that wasn't intended as a direct comparison to this machine's 1TB storage (I think I had ~2TB in the cloud). I can see how this is confusing - just edited the article.

And assuming you keep it in block storage. If you keep the data in S3 and copy it to block storage as required it’s a lot cheaper.
