Amazon S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval Storage Class

Lots of people using the Intelligent-Tiering storage class just got a huge cost reduction for free. If you haven't looked into it, you really should, especially if you use S3 for objects that are usually >1MB, stored for >30 days, and at least some of those objects go more than 30 days without being accessed. The downside is really limited; at worst you will pay a small fixed amount more than the Standard storage class, unlike normal Infrequent Access or Glacier Instant Retrieval storage classes where you can potentially end up with huge retrieval bills if objects are accessed repeatedly.
But ouch, retrieving a TB from it cost $120.
I guess this is great for those having everything on AWS.
