What sort of deal are you taking about? Would it be 50% or more?

[master_crab]

You can get way higher than 50% discounts with AWS (or any cloud) depending upon the scale of the buy.

Not for that minimum 0.5PB volume.

Even at 10PB, the storage commit discounts won't be anywhere near 50%. Probably more like 10-20%, if that.
