There is also a 32k storage overhead per file. Hence it’s a good idea is to archive files before upload. - 🔸Glacier’s pricing policy is reportedly pretty complicated: “Glacier data retrievals are priced based on the peak hourly retrieval capacity used within a calendar month.” Some more info can be found [here](https://medium.com/@karppinen/how-i-ended-up-paying-150-for-a-single-60gb-download-from-amazon-glacier-6cb77b288c3e#.wjl4dbgza) and [here](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10921365). -- 🔸Be aware of the cost associated with archiving S3 data to Glacier.
