It's missing IAM conditional policies so it's a no for me.

#82At our company we’re ready to convert to R2, and this will probably be the foot in the door to using other cloudflare services.

#83Slight miscalculation which should have been obvious: "For example, Backblaze B2’s free operations threshold is capped at 2,500 a day, and if R2 simply let you make a GetObject request every second of every day, that would be something like 86,400 FREE daily Gets, which would cost ~$335 daily on B2 or $122,000 a year." Backblaze B2 Class B operations are priced at $0.004 per 10k operations which the author did not ta…
I wonder how this compares with Wasabi. I was very bullish on them a few years ago.

#84Earlier quoted context omitted.
What part is OP missing?
Maybe the point is that just having the S3 and CDN isn’t enough to move customers. If you’re using AWS, S3 (and Cloudfront) it will just be a tiny part of your infrastructure, why would you move that out of AWS and lose the integration coming from having everything in AWS?
Because it's significantly cheaper and diversifies your presence across multiple providers.
It's a good idea to split origin and CDN, this way requests can be served from cache while origin is down or overloaded.
Plus I'd challenge the suggestions that S3 and CDN are a tiny portion of the infrastructure. For a lot of sites it's a significant chunk, things remaining wouldn't be many, maybe compute, DNS, and CI.

You're right. This is a silly mistake on my part in rushing out this piece. I apologize. Thanks for pointing this out -I've since taken out the paragraph.

#86Hi, I'm LV, I wrote this post. I co-founded Taloflow to make choosing cloud vendors transparent and easy. I'm curious to hear what factors HN readers think I missed and if you think Cloudflare R2 will be a threat in the cloud object storage market place.
What do you think of the above comment which indicates you overcounted B2's costs by a factor of 10,000?
They are right. We addressed the comment and fixed the article.

#87What I want to see is Cloudflare enable hosting static websites on R2. For me that would be an absolute game changer.
I know you can already host websites on Cloudflare using another service but I want to see R2 get enabled.

#88Will bigcorp 1 win against Megacorp 2? Find out in the next episode! Just co-locate your stuff, please.

No thanks, too time consuming and too many liabilities.
Re: Will Cloudflare R2 Win Customers from Amazon S3?
#89I don't see excatly how the r2 model will be viable, you basically have a free CDN. I don't see that staying that way.
You pay for storage. Only , not as much as what AWS charges. Cloudflare has a business model where they can basically handle any network load you throw at them. They are monetizing their advantage here by allowing you to make full use of their network as long as you make use of their paid storage as well. The margins in the cloud business and AWS especially are breathtakingly large and yet, considered affordable by e…
Cloudflare still has to pay for transit, so I don't see how hosting a 1GB video being served multi TB per month will work for them.

why rush a piece?
