Two pricing models are available: consumption-based pay-as-you-go, and capacity-based storage bundles.
Pay-as-you-go consumption-based cloud storage costs $6/TB per month, with your first 10GB free. Egress is free up to 3x of average monthly data stored, and unlimited to many leading content delivery network (CDN) and compute partners.
