Earlier this month, Amazon held their re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, from December 1st to 5th - a 5-day event. If you have never been to a re:Invent conference, then the word that describes it best is “huge” - not just in terms of the number of attendees (60,000) but also the breadth of topics covered.

The double whammy of inflation (and correspondingly high interest rates for the foreseeable future), demand destruction and an uncertain outlook have companies aggressively looking for cost savings. Now. While reducing headcount is a current play for most of the tech industry, there is real money in the data stack. Every company is a data company at this juncture - it
Read moreWe are in a cloud native talent crisis. It is not going to end soon. Given the depth of the crisis, it is pretty amazing to consider how quickly the cloud operating model has grown – from the public cloud to the private cloud and even out to the edge. Our clients and partners are all angling for more cloud talent.

The promise/allure of the public cloud is based on the concept that it is elastic. One can, with little effort, scale up workloads and, if desired, scale down those same workloads. We have written on this subject before [https://blog.min.io/repatriation_wave/] - from the perspective of what workloads to consider as you evaluate what to take

Aaron Tilley of the Wall Street Journal has an interesting piece [https://www.wsj.com/articles/coronavirus-pandemic-forces-businesses-to-confront-cloud-computing-costs-11595849519] (paywalled) today that speaks to one of the challenges that businesses are facing on the pandemic related technology front. The net of it is that companies are spending more and more on cloud costs, sometimes independent of their business outcomes. It doesn'

Kubernetes has fundamentally altered the traditional application development and deployment patterns. Application development teams can now develop, test and deploy their apps in days, across different environments, all within their Kubernetes clusters. Previous generations of technology typically took weeks if not months. This acceleration is possible due to the abstraction that Kubernetes brings to the table, i.e. it deals

For Cloud Native, Architecture Matters The term ‘cloud native’ is widely used in technical circles but doesn’t have a particularly clear definition. The confusion lies in the fact that being ‘cloud native’ has little to do with the environment your application is deployed to—the term is equally applicable to on-premise or the public cloud.

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. Kubernetes has become the industry standard. Furthermore, Kubernetes has grown into more than just orchestration,

The power of scale [https://hbr.org/search?search_type=&term=scale&sort=popularity_score] is well-documented in the world of business. Cloud providers - Amazon in particular - have amassed extraordinary scale in a very short period of time. The cloud providers are now using this scale to rearchitect how enterprises interact with their data. They are

B2 is competitively priced and has a huge fan following. We also heard from Backblaze team that they are actively expanding their B2 cloud storage service. We added experimental support for Backblaze B2 backend in MinIO to

Thus far at MinIO [https://github.com/minio/minio] we have not been using this feature much, but that’ll change since there are some nice hidden benefits as we will explain in this blog post. If you are like us, you may have considerable amounts of code

We used block based filesystem for underlying storage. However, as we grew, the filesystem was proving difficult to scale. So, we were looking to move from block based storage to an object store system,
