Certainly if you are considering moving a production workload, then a beta test, regardless of the company, may not be an ideal fit.

Object storage has been a highly requested feature by our customers and now that we are getting closer to GA we want to ensure that customers get a chance to use the product and provide feedback on usability, bugs, performance, and etc.

I wasn't even discussing moving production environments, just the beta test seems to highly favor DO in terms of cost.

But that is fine, if enough users are willing to front the cost of testing.
