Tl;dr: In this post, we will create a custom image dataset and then train a You-Only-Look-Once (YOLO) model for the ubiquitous task of object detection. We will then implement a system using MinIO Bucket Notifications that can automatically perform inference on a new image. Introduction: Computer vision remains an extremely compelling application of artificial intelligence. Whether it’s recognizing

Introduction In 1997, Clayton Christensen, in his book The Innovator’s Dilemma, identified a pattern of innovation that tracked the capabilities, cost, and adoption by market segment between an incumbent and a new entrant. He labeled this pattern “Disruptive Innovation.” Not every successful product is disruptive - even if it causes well-established businesses to lose market share or even fail
Read moreOn September 4th, it was uncovered that an unknown threat actor had attacked publicly available MinIO object storage clusters. The attackers exploited two known security vulnerabilities in the MinIO server: CVE-2023-28432 and CVE-2023-28434 Both vulnerabilities had been reported and fixed on March 19th and 20th, and a new release, RELEASE.2023-03-20T20-16-18Z, was published on the same day. Both CVEs were

It seems like more and more companies are touting themselves as one-stop shops for object, file and block storage these days - adopting the mantle of “unified” storage and offering to support a variety of storage protocols. The idea of supporting S3, NFS, SMB, HDFS, iSCSI, FCoE, NVMeoF and FCP all at once, is touted as the epitome of flexibility

Introduction In a previous post, I provided an introduction to Apache Iceberg and showed how it uses MinIO for storage. I also showed how to set up a development machine. To do this, I used Docker Compose to install an Apache Spark container as the processing engine, a REST catalog, and MinIO for storage. I concluded with a very simple

When we started MinIO, we set out to set a new standard for object storage. We built a software-defined, S3 API compatible object storage that is the fastest and most scalable solution available that isn’t S3. But we didn’t stop there. We are also crafting an entirely different experience through our SUBNET experience. SUBNET combines a commercial license

Introduction Open Table Formats (OTFs) are a phenomenon in the data analytics world that has been gaining momentum recently. The promise of OTFs is as a solution that leverages distributed computing and distributed object stores to provide capabilities that exceed what is possible with a Data Warehouse. The open aspect of these formats gives organizations options when it comes to

Globally there has been a shift to bring applications closer to home. Enterprises want more control of their data and have had enough of paying egress fees to the public cloud to get access to their own data. Besides cost, there is also the matter of security, or lack thereof, when resources are shared with unknown organizations. Vulnerabilities can trickle

We were recently asked by a journalist to help frame the challenges and complexity of the hybrid cloud for technology leaders. While we suspect many technologists have given this a fair amount of thought, we also know from first-hand discussions with customers and community members that this is still an area of significant inquiry. We wanted to summarize that thinking

Introduction It’s challenging to keep track of machine learning experiments. Let’s say you have a collection of raw files in a MinIO bucket to be used to train and test a model. There will always be multiple ways to preprocess the data, engineer features, and design the model. Given all these options, you will want to run many

Introduction The California Gold Rush started in 1848 and lasted until 1855. It is estimated that approximately 300,000 people migrated to California from other parts of the United States and abroad. Economic estimates suggest that, on average, only half made a modest profit. The other half either lost money or broke even. Very few gold seekers made a significant
