01

Storage Requirements

Business type influences compliance requirements and usage patterns.
Use case determines access frequency and optimal storage tier.
Total data to be stored. 1 TB = 1024 GB.
How fast storage demand grows each month.
Yearly percentage increase in stored data volume.
Object count affects API request volume and listing costs.
Affects total storage validation and access cost estimates.
02

Cloud Provider Settings

Provider selection auto-populates realistic pricing rates for 2025.
Frequently accessed data → Hot. Archived → Cold Archive.
Region affects egress pricing. Africa and APAC often cost more.
Multi-region and global replication significantly increase costs.
Real-time backups can 3–5× your storage cost.
03

Bandwidth & Transfer

Egress is often the biggest hidden cloud cost. Free on Cloudflare R2 and Wasabi.
Ingress (uploads) is usually free on major providers.
CDN reduces origin bandwidth costs but adds CDN fees.
Number of file download events per month.
Video streaming multiplies bandwidth costs significantly.
GET, PUT, LIST operations are billed per 1,000 requests on most providers.
PUT/POST requests are typically $0.005 per 1,000 on AWS.
GET requests are typically $0.0004 per 1,000 on AWS.
04

Security & Compliance

At-rest and in-transit encryption. Adds minor overhead.
Full DR can add 30–80% to your storage baseline cost.
GDPR HIPAA PCI DSS NDPR ISO 27001 None
Each compliance framework adds tooling and audit costs.
IAM policies, bucket policies, signed URLs, VPC endpoints.
ClamAV, Clam on upload scanning adds per-scan compute cost.
Encrypting backups adds key management (KMS) fees.
Longer retention = more storage consumed by historical versions.
05

Team & Business Settings

Active users generating download/upload requests.
Each connected app multiplies API request volume.
Heavy remote usage increases egress and CDN demand.
ML inference, image recognition, OCR on stored objects.
AI/ML API calls on stored files. ~$0.001–$0.01 per request.
Monthly cloud storage budget ceiling.
Pricing calculated in USD then converted to your currency.
06

Advanced Infrastructure

Edge nodes reduce origin bandwidth but add edge compute cost.
Auto-moves old data to cheaper tiers — saves 30–60% on archive storage.
Elastic scaling prevents throttling but can cause bill spikes.
Each copy multiplies storage cost. 3 copies = 3× storage cost.
20
% of data moved to cold archive tier (much cheaper).
Disaster recovery standby infrastructure cost per month.
CloudWatch, GCS Monitoring, Azure Monitor add ~$5–20/month.
Access logging stores log objects which adds storage + request costs.
