AWS Transfer for SFTP – Fully Managed SFTP Service for Amazon S3
We currently pay $250/month through some small vendor for hipaa compliant sftp hosting (that we transfer a whopping 50kb on a weekly basis). I always felt like it was a rip off, but azure/aws didn't have their own version. And I'm loathe to manage a VM. PaaS is my sugar bear.<p>My eyes lit up when I saw this. We're an azure shop, but I'm not afraid to use AWS for limited cases. Then I saw - $.30/hr (so, $214/mo). Really? REALLY?<p>Wouldn't it be comically easy to just the add SFTP as a protocol option for S3? Why does this need a dedicated VM to run it? (Yes, I know this is PaaS and you don't manage the VM, but they're essentially pricing it that way)
