Model Checkpointing using Amazon’s S3 Connector for PyTorch and MinIO

Model Checkpointing using Amazon’s S3 Connector for PyTorch and MinIO

In November of 2023, Amazon announced the S3 Connector for PyTorch. The Amazon S3 Connector for PyTorch provides implementations of PyTorch's dataset primitives (Datasets and DataLoaders) that are purpose-built for S3 object storage. It supports map-style datasets for random data access patterns and iterable-style datasets for streaming sequential data access patterns.  The S3 Connector for PyTorch also includes

Prefix vs Folder

How you ever wondered how object storage creates its folder structure mimicking a POSIX style hierarchy but something that is actually built for speed and efficiency? Today in this post you will find out what actually makes the internal structure you see visually in your MInIO buckets.

Deprecation of the MinIO gateway

Harshavardhana Harshavardhana on S3 |

MinIO is deprecating the gateway and will be completely removed in six months. This should not come as a surprise, we began informing the community in 2020 and have steadily removed unpopular gateways. In the last ten months, MinIO has only made bug fixes. The community can continue to use older versions of MinIO past that date. We also encourage
