NASA to launch 247 petabytes of data into AWS – but forgot about eye-watering cloudy egress costs before lift-off

Pascal, I expect you are correct. NASA is generating AND using so much data, that outsourcing the management doesn't make much sense. Perhaps having AWS as a back up could be useful for files that aren't super sensitive.

NASA would obviously be a major customer and would get priority support, but an in-house team and storage array means even more direct service. All of this information IS the value of NASA. You don't outsource your key asset.
