Amazon S3 Reduced Redundancy Storage (RRS) (aws.typepad.com)

Useful, methinks. Go from 99.999999999% reliable storage to 99.99%, and pay 1/3 less (10 cents / GB / Month).

Personally, I'd feel better if they'd tack on another 9, but that's not a bad deal for an enormous amount of uses out there.


This is perfect for a project I'm working on. One component downloads zip files (10s to 100s of MB) from websites for indexing, and I archive them on S3 because it's just easier/faster to deal with them from there on EC2 instances that do the processing.

I don't need super redundancy, because I can always download the files again, and so RRS would make the S3 bill even cheaper.
