We are at an interesting time from a technology standpoint. The cloud, and by this we mean a way of doing things - not a physical location, has created a yawning gap between cloud-native companies and legacy vendors (many of whom are giants). Only a few of these giants will make it to the other side. There are multiple reasons,

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

The line between hybrid cloud and multicloud is blurry at this point. The hybrid cloud is certainly more expansive in its definition (public, on-prem, edge). The multi-cloud generally refers to multiple public cloud. What makes it blurry is that the cloud is a mentality - not a physical location. As a result, we see the terms used interchangeably these days.

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

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 to outrun

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

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
