Hi Marcel - I'd suggest you store files in S3 Infrequent Access instead of
Glacier.  S3IA costs 1.2 cents/GB/mo - not much more than .7 cents/GB/mo for
Glacier, and is much more flexible.  There's also Google Nearline for 1
cent/GB/mo and Backblaze B2 for .5 cents/GB/mo.

Glacier is not very flexible storage.  I did a writeup about it here:
