Cloud Storage Pricing

This dataset contains historical pricing for cloud object storage from major providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure.

The price of cloud storage has dropped dramatically over the years. When AWS launched its Simple Storage Service (S3) in 2006, it cost USD 0.15 per GB per month. This was a revolutionary price at the time, but it was only the beginning of a long downward trend.

As competition in the cloud storage market has intensified, prices have continued to fall. Today, the same storage that cost USD 0.15 per GB in 2006 can be had for as little as USD 0.02 per GB. This dataset provides the data to track these changes over time and across providers.
