       | new Archive Instant Access tier at the same price and
       | milliseconds retrieval as the new S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval
       | storage class. Beginning today, customers of S3 Intelligent-
       | Tiering automatically save up to 68% for data not accessed in the
       | last 90 days.
       | 
       | 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.

         | at $0.99/ _TB_
         | 
         | But ouch, retrieving a TB from it cost $120.

         | I guess this is great for those having everything on AWS.
