As we noted back in April, MinIO will be deprecating the gateway functionality in a few weeks time. As Harsha wrote at the time, the gateway had served its purpose [https://blog.min.io/deprecation-of-the-minio-gateway/] and was no longer viable. While all gateway users will need to make some decisions, there are some Azure gateway users (for the cloud) and

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

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

As data has grown, so has the challenge associated with moving it. Indeed, the bandwidth costs to migrate a PB of data out of AWS would be more than keeping it there for years. Still, customers often need to move large amounts (100s of TBs up to PBs) with some frequency. Amazon knows this and has, in their intensely customer

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 remaking the

Apache Spark is a framework for distributed computing. It provides one of the best mechanisms for distributing data across multiple machines in a cluster and performing computations on it. Spark achieves this by constructing data structures called RDDs (Resilient Distributed Datasets). RDDs allow data to be broken into disparate chunks and processed independently of one another. The individual chunks can

When early object storage APIs were developed they focused on the efficient storage and retrieval of objects. Amazon’s success with S3 and its implementation of the robust S3 API quickly became the de facto standard for object storage in the cloud. MinIO, recognizing this, invested heavily in creating the most compliant implementation of the S3 API outside of Amazon.

Some our community members have repeatedly asked for Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage and MinIO integration [1] [https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/4072] . 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
