Today I learned that there is a 5 PB soft capacity limit for Azure blob storage: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/scala...

Also, a 200 Gbps egress limit.

How does that compare to S3?

Mind you, at this scale the storage cost is about $15K/mo, so it would be cost effective to throw some developer time at the problem of scaling out between multiple storage accounts. Or just call support to have the soft limit cap raised…
