title: Storing many small files (on S3)?
body: <p>I have 2 million zipped HTML files (100-150KB) being added each day that I need to store for a long time.
  Hot data (70-150 million) is accessed semi regularly, anything older than that is barely ever accessed.</p>
  
  <p>This means each day I'm storing an additional 200-300GB worth of files. </p>
  
  <p>Now, Standard storage costs $0.023 per GB and $0.004 for Glacier.</p>
  
  <p>While Glacier is cheap, the problem with it is that it has additional costs, so it would be a bad idea to dump 2 million files into Glacier: </p>
  
  <p><code>PUT requests to Glacier $0.05 per 1,000 requests</code></p>
  
  <p><code>Lifecycle Transition Requests into Glacier $0.05 per 1,000 requests</code></p>
  
  <p>Is there a way of gluing the files together, but keeping them accessible individually? </p>
