MinIO: Open Source Object Storage Server with Amazon S3 Compatible API

MinIO is an open source object storage server with Amazon S3 compatible API. It is lightweight, high-performance, and suitable for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups, and container images.

What is MinIO?

MinIO is an open source object storage server released under Apache License v2.0. It is compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service API, thus making it easy to migrate to from AWS S3.

MinIO is a lightweight, high-performance object storage system. Unlike other distributed storage systems, MinIO doesn't have a separate metadata layer. It treats both data and metadata equally thereby avoiding performance overhead of managing metadata separately.

MinIO has a simple design and works well across geographically distributed multi-tenant environments including containers and bare metal servers. It provides data protection capabilities like erasure coding and bitrot protection that handle silent data corruption.

Some key use cases of MinIO include:

• Public and private cloud storage
• VOD and media workflow
• Machine learning and analytics pipelines
• Edge caching and IoT
• Backup and disaster recovery

MinIO is suitable for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups, and container images. It provides scalability, reliability and ease of operations at low cost.
