The fact that MinIO is fast is not a secret. We routinely publish our benchmarks and have put out comparision work against HDFS and AWS (Spark + Presto) in addition to our HDD and NVMe numbers. We recently discovered the availability of large NVMe instances on AWS. Larger than we have ever seen in fact. We procured 32 units of i3en.

Encryption should never be your only line of defense against malicious actors, but it is one of the most basic security best practices that every organization should consider essential. However, not

Perhaps the biggest takeaway from VMworld was the “all in” bet that VMware is making on Kubernetes. VMware wasn’t shy about its ambition, with CEO Pat Gelsinger stating that “We will be the leading enabler of Kubernetes.” This reflects the reality of the market.
