Backblaze's B2 is an S3 near-clone: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html

I don't know about reliability, but it's a fraction of the price of S3.

As I've said previously: I love the Backblaze folks, but B2 is apparently hosted in a single building. So that's not a question of if, but when.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

In theory you are totally right but looking at the AWS it seams that the likelihood of issues due to ops complexity could be higher than the risk of a simple but single site service going down.
