Introduction In a few previous posts on AI/ML, I mentioned that one of the benefits of MinIO is that you have tools for Versioning, Lifecycle Management, Object Locking, Object Retention and Legal Holds. These capabilities have a variety of uses. You may need a simple way to keep track of training experiments. You could also use these features to

When purchasing storage, the emphasis is usually on media, but it may be even more important to consider access methods too. You will need to take storage protocols into account when designing and procuring infrastructure, especially when you leave legacy storage behind in order to migrate to cloud-native object storage. However, object storage relies on the S3 API for communications,

Introduction In a previous post, I covered Building an ML Data Pipeline with MinIO and Kubeflow v2.0. The data pipeline I created downloaded US Census data to a dedicated instance of MinIO. This is different from the MinIO instance Kubeflow Pipelines (KFP) uses internally. We could have tried to use KFP’s instance of MinIO - however, this is

Our latest YouTube training series is all about the MinIO Operator, which brings native support for deploying and managing MinIO deployments (“MinIO Tenants”) on a Kubernetes cluster. MinIO’s Mike Johnson (aka MJ) brings us through the 10-part video series to set the foundation of understanding Kubernetes before focusing on installing and configuring the MinIO Operator for Kubernetes, which will

This post first appeared in The New Stack. Developers gravitate to technologies that are software defined, open source, cloud native and simple. That essentially defines object storage. Introduction Choosing the best storage for all phases of a machine learning (ML) project is critical. Research engineers need to create multiple versions of datasets and experiment with different model architectures. When a

Most developers, engineers, architects and DevOps folks know MinIO. Not all know that the only thing we do is software-defined object storage. We don’t do file or block. We don’t offer a service, it is self-hosted. Our focus is singular. The result is that our object store is objectively, based on adoption, awards and customer feedback the best

Apache Kafka and Apache Spark are two leading technologies used to build the streaming data pipelines that feed data lakes and lake houses. At a really high level, Kafka streams messages to Spark where they are transformed into a format that can be read in by applications and saved to storage.

Encryption is an important part of the MinIO architecture. MinIO applies encryption to ensure objects are secure at rest and are compliant with regulations.

Engineers like to play and learn locally. It does not matter which tool is under investigation: a high-end storage solution, a workflow orchestration engine, or the latest thing in distributed computing. The best way to learn a new technology is to find a way to cram it all on a single machine so that you can put your hands on

InfluxDB is built on the same ethos as MinIO. It is a single Go binary, cloud agnostic, lightweight, but is also feature packed with things like replication and encryption, and it provides integrations with various applications.

Kubeflow Pipelines (KFP) is the most popular feature of Kubeflow. A Python engineer can turn a function written in plain old Python into a component that runs in Kubernetes using the KFP decorators. If you used KFP v1, be warned - the programming model in KFP v2 is very different - however, it is a big improvement. Transforming plain old
