When you think about the cloud, it helps to think about the types of businesses
that have been built with elastic compute, networking and storage as a
foundational component and self-service/multi-tenancy as the vehicle for
customer engagement.
For the most part, those businesses succeeded at scaling by focusing their
efforts on building their product, almost exclusively on a single

Lots of object storage companies like to talk about scalability while tossing around terms like exabytes and “infinite.” Unfortunately, many of the terms used to describe scalability make grandiose and misleading promises that don’t help enterprises build an effective storage platform. Claims made around the simplest use case, static archival data, aren’t translatable to the entirety of use

Object-storage-as-a-service is a game changer for IT.
For the better part of a decade, IT has watched as developers provisioned object storage for emerging applications on the public cloud - driving much of the adoption of this medium.
This creates many well-known issues for IT. This is not a simple control issue, it is a broader and much more critical

As we ease into 2021, there are a few technology vectors that are dictating the
conversation for IT architects. The dominant one is Kubernetes. Related, and
quickly becoming “standard,” is the hybrid cloud.
The challenges inherent in an architect's role are only compounded when planning
for the hybrid cloud. First, it is new and marketing has a tendency

Today marks a special anniversary for MinIO. It has been five years since we had our first GA release on GitHub. The journey to that point and from that point (5,396 commits later) has been nothing short of amazing and we wanted to take a quick moment to recap our thinking when we started and where we are now.

As we said in our opening, we love Storage Field Day because it is a chance for us to reflect on our accomplishments while forcing us to confront our future. We say confront because the delegates at SFD are among the brightest, politest group of skeptics you are likely to encounter. They push you for answers, they challenge you for

Kubernetes seems to be the answer to a lot of questions these days. It should be—it is the dominant way to deliver compute, networking and storage to applications. Its dominance is surprising in a tech world where there is generally room for several players. This was a winner take all market and Kubernetes took it all.

This is going to be a relatively short post because the good stuff is really in
the video, courtesy of Daniel Valdivia and AB.
The summary is that MinIO has a ridiculously talented engineering team that has
been together for more than a decade. Many of them were part of the Gluster team
and have forgotten more about file systems

We got crunched for time at the end of our SFD slot. Given how important the
hybrid cloud story is to our future, I probably shouldn’t have left it for last.
Too many great questions threw us off our schedule and we arrived at the start
of the section with not enough time to do it justice.
So what

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARmIhJsWK8w] and during our session we
generated a particular amount of interest around our hybrid strategy. At the
end, we were a little compressed on time, but the message resonated and was the
primary subject of the breakout room discussion with the delegates after the
cameras stopped
