They’re undoubtably useful right now and you can provide some clever tips to users about moving files to different types of storage, but they’re going to have to continually innovate to offer new analysis of your usage. Amazon is going to provide this kind of visibility over time as their tools and console expand.

These seem more like a feature of a broader cloud management system (or the AWS console) than a long term business.
