I would assume that a service like snapshot would be within the scope
for our AWS usage.  Noah?

200 TB should be no problem.

However we need to talk about that "one […] VM", because this sounds
like you intend to use AWS as VM hosting, which it is not.

Please think about this in form of services and there should be at least
two:
- the injestor, which can only exist once and writes, and
- the web frontend, which should be able to exist several times and only
  reads.

So you want to plan with running the multiple web frontends with load
balancers and maybe even cloudfront.
