Is it also partially a record due to the cloud provider (AWS vs Alibaba Cloud)?

AWS actually has a _higher_ unit cost than Alibaba Cloud

Couldn't the new record holder just use Alibaba to further break it or was it an S3 reason?

Alibaba Cloud isn't as cost-effective as it was in 2016. Also not sure how fast Alibaba's equivalent of S3 is.
