This is pretty cool. Anyone know what the retrieval pricing is? With Glacier you can limit the amount you pay by retrieving really slowly, but I'm not sure that works with the S3 frontend.
They say in the article that the pricing is the same as for Glacier.

This will only work if you have small enough Glacier archives and stagger the retrieval requests. The pricing is based on the speed that they retrieve from Glacier internally during the job, not at the speed that you retrieve after the job is complete. I presume the same will apply for S3.
