Great "Cloud Preservation" cost comparison table in DSHR's latest blog post about archival storage (https://blog.dshr.org/2025/03/archival-storage.html).
Upload/ingest costs are basically a non-factor, but getting your 1 petabyte of data back from Amazon Glacier ($49,550) costs as much as hosting that 1 peta for about 5 years ($10,900 per year)

Preservation of original data and dissemination based on a preservation of original software setups, which are emulated on newer operation systems and hardware.
Museum:
Preservation of original data and dissemination of data based on a simultaneous preservation of the original hardware and software setups.
Bit Preservation:
The institution accepts data in original file formats for submission and does not migrate data or provide any support for rendering data to the archival user. The institution only preserves the original bits and disseminates the original files to archival users to use on their own responsibility.
Late migration/Format agnostic/Minimal effort ingest:
The institution accepts all or most data in original file formats for submission and commits to migrating the data potentially during ingest or ultimately before current hardware and software are no longer capable of rendering the data.
Early migration:
Data are migrated to a designated portfolio of file formats before submission. The responsibility for the migration therefore lies with the data producer. The institution commits to migrate the data with the passing of time at an interval before current hardware and software are no longer capable of rendering the data. This may or may not include preserving a copy of the original data.
Really like the way the various digital preservation strategies are laid out in OPF's Comparison of Recommended File Formats (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XjEjFBCGF3N1spNZc1y0DG8_Uyw18uG2j8V2bsQdYjk/edit?gid=1719869262#gid=1719869262):

"Licences are based on the legal fiction of agreement. That story is a fairy tale. There is no negotiation, there is no agreement. There are rules that are offered on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. There is no alternative." amazing #ipres2024 keynote by @perzanowski
