• Is it possible to have cloud ssd and hdd, instead of physic ones?

  The nice thing about AWS is that you could use Amazon S3 Glacier storage if you can live with slower retrieval (5-12 hours). It's really cheap and excellent for non-changing requirements which would be good for media that isn't updating regularly. https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/glacier/.

• Mass storage solutions

  If you say you need object storage, then blob is the way to go. It will be easy to setup if you already use Azure. But do setup a backup policy. Also if I were you I would use a second provider to avoid vendor lock in. Also you should look into a cold storage solution with a different provider (not Azure) for secondary backups (e.g. See https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/glacier/).

• Roast me, this is how I keep my data (~177TB)

  You do realise that your fancy cloud uses tape as well right - https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/glacier/ And btw I am gen x, boomers technically predate tape. The good thing about your generation however is that with your disposable storage and disposable culture no one will remember you. While our VHS records are still alive and working fine same with the film the boomers used to use. Source: almost 4 years ago

  You could put the stuff you are just archiving in Amazon cold storage. https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/glacier/ - the deep archive category which is not live access to your data is like 95 cents per terabyte and month, last I checked. That's 360 bucks a year. Source: about 4 years ago

• I've locked myself out of my digital life

  AWS Glacier Deep Archive costs about $1/TB/month and is highly redundant, so for cold storage and DR is perfect for this.

• Looking for help figuring out how to safely store 100 TB of video files on cloud storage.

  Azure and AWS both will easily store this much, you just need to organize it into separate buckets/storage accounts. If you don't need to access them often (read: weeks between accessing, and you know 48 hours ahead of time that you'll need it), the cheapest option is Deep Glacier Storage. Source: over 4 years ago

• Some questions about cloning.

  Correct. This is the cheapest hot/cool cloud storage I know. Cheaper than that would be Azure Archive or AWS Glacier since they cost $0.00099 per month for 1GB, but it takes a while to retrieve data back. If you need a long-term archival, their solutions are good for the job. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/blobs/ Https://aws.amazon.com/s3/glacier/. Source: almost 5 years ago
