Storage tiering savings
Estimate savings from moving cold data to a cheaper tier, after retrieval costs.
Cloud & FinOpsHow it's worked out
- Saving = cold GB × (hot − cold price) − retrieved GB × retrieval cost
- Cold data stays cold; prices per GB-month
NoteCheck minimum storage durations and early-deletion fees for the cold tier.
