Thanks for the reply!

Generally usage based pricing sounds fair. In the end for cases like mine where it's "read rarely, but should be available publicly long term" it would need to compute with pricing offered by the big cloud providers.

I'm about to leave my academic career and I'm thinking about how to make sure all my detector data will be available to other researchers in my field in the future. Aside from the obvious candidate https://zenodo.org it's an annoying problem as usually most universities I'm familiar with only archive data internally, which is hard to access for researchers from different institutions. As I don't want to rely on a single place to have that data available I'm looking for an additional alternative (that I'm willing to pay for out of my own pocket, it just shouldn't be a financial burden).

In particular while still taking data a couple of years ago I would have loved being able to commit each daily data taking in the same way as I commit code. That way having things timestamped, backed up and all possible notes that came up that day associated straight in the commit message would have been very nice.

Regarding mounting I don't have any specific needs there anymore. Just thinking about how other researchers would be able to clone the repo to access the data.
