Scaleway adds object storage

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Cloud hosting company Scaleway is launching object storage in public beta
The company uses an Amazon S3-compatible API, which means you could easily replace your Amazon S3 bucket with a Scaleway bucket by changing
the API end point.The basic object storage package starts at $5.75 per month (€5 per month), which includes 500GB of storage and 500GB of
outgoing transfer
You then pay €0.01 per month for every extra GB of storage and €0.02 per month for every extra GB of outgoing transfer
And there no limit.You can transfer data back and forth between a Scaleway server instance and your object storage bucket for free
You also can create a bucket for free during the public beta phase.When it comes to the service-level agreement, the company promises 99.9
percent availability and 99.999 percent redundancy and protection of your files.It hard to compare Scaleway pricing with big competitors,
such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and Microsoft Azure blob storage
Pricing differs depending on the region and the level of availability
But they tend to be more expensive than Scaleway if you choose standard storage options.Backblaze B2 charges $0.005 per GB of storage per
month and $0.01 per GB of outgoing transfer per month
DigitalOcean Spaces costs $5 per month for 250 GB of storage, 1TB of outgoing transfer and then $0.02 per extra GB of storage, $0.01 per
extra GB of transfer.But pricing is just one thing
Chances are you don&t want to work with multiple vendors and pay for outgoing transfer by hosting your computing instances with one cloud
hosting company and your object storage with another
Having object storage could help convince more clients to switch to Scaleway for everything.
