[TriLUG] AWS/S3 hosting

[Roger W. Broseus via TriLUG]

Very useful info for a new comer to cloud / AWS.

I find the pricing impossible to under stand. I want to use ASW / S3 for 
off-site back up by keeping data in an encrypted .tar file. Data size would be 
less than 150 GB with infrequent transfers. They say it's cheap but I'm a loss 
to verify that.
