AWS S3 Express One Zone — 10x Faster Object Storage for Latency-Critical Workloads
S3 Express One Zone delivers sub-millisecond latency at $0.16/GB/month — 7x more expensive than S3 Standard ($0.023/GB). Single-AZ only: data unavailable if AZ fails. Purpose-built for ML training pipelines, HFT, rendering.
TCOIQ: Only justified when GPU idle time due to data latency exceeds storage premium. 10 A100 GPUs at $30/hr with 20% idle: fixing with Express One Zone saves $6/hr. For everything else S3 Standard is 7x cheaper.
