We live in a cloud-native world where edge architecture must be consistent with cloud architecture, and where data can be retrieved with the same API call regardless of where it lives.

Using MinIO for AWS Local Zones

As AWS Local Zones expand - object storage is needed. AWS recommends using MinIO.

IOT, IIOT and Storage at the Edge

Satish Ramakrishnan Satish Ramakrishnan on Architect's Guide 31 May 2022

IoT applications have been exploding for some time, from the bleeding edge of the network to the factory floor, but now they are reaching critical mass. They already generate lots of data and that amount is increasing. Some of this data is processed locally but much of it needs to be sent someplace for further analysis. In many cases, the

2021 Kubecon Takeaways: A Mixed Bag

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Kubernetes 18 October 2021

Let’s get a few things out there right away. First, Kubecon remains a shadow of its former self. In 2019 it was vibrant, even frothy. It was pretty sad this week in LA. The forecast was for 3,000 but we would be surprised if it was 2,000. My sense talking to others on the sponsor side was

The Architect’s Guide to Edge Storage

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Architect's Guide 27 September 2021

The current generation of edge computing is still in its infancy. This is a remarkable statement given its size today ($6 billion) and expectations for growth ($61 billion by 2028). Nonetheless, with 5G just taking hold and the Internet of Things (IoT) economy exploding, the truth is we don’t really know how big it may become, or how quickly.

Mono Clouds vs Multi-Clouds & Hybrid Clouds

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Multicloud 1 July 2021

What Amazon Web Services has done is truly remarkable. Over the better part of fifteen years they have built a business with an annual run rate in excess of $45B. Underpinning that remarkable growth is storage – specifically S3, launched back in 2006. S3 revolutionized the storage industry and the S3 API is now the standard in the cloud, replacing the

Storage at the Edge

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Edge Computing 8 March 2020

Edge computing is a hot topic and carries with it some confusion, particularly around storage. Handling data properly at the edge can ensure a scalable, cost-effective and secure infrastructure - but failing to set up the right architecture can lead to data loss, security vulnerabilities and sky-high costs related to the bandwidth needed to transfer data repeatedly to and from

MinIO server gauge with Raspberry Pi

on Edge Computing 29 March 2017

Today we’ll take a look at an IoT pressure gauge for your MinIO server. This is a cool hack built by Alex Ellis with the Raspberry Pi, Docker and MinIO. > After contributing code to the Open-Source MinIO project to enable webhooks Alex wanted visualize the traffic passing through his server. His hack shows the rate that objects get
