Summary
Minio is a distributed object storage server, written in Go and open sourced under Apache License Version 2.0
Description
Minio is a distributed object storage server, written in Go and open sourced under Apache License Version 2.0
Amazon S3 Compatible
Amazon S3 API is the de facto standard for object storage. Minio implements Amazon S3 v2/v4 API. Use Minio SDK, Minio Client, AWS SDK and AWS CLI to access Minio server.
Data Protection
Minio protects data against hardware failures using erasure code and bitrot detection. You may lose up to half the number of drives and still recover from it. Data protection code is accelerated using SIMD instructions on x64 and ARM CPUs.
Highly Available
Minio server can tolerate up to (N/2)-1 node failures in a distributed setup. In addition, you may configure Minio server to continuously mirror data between Minio and any Amazon S3 compatible server.
Lambda Compute
Minio server triggers Lambda functions through its AWS SNS/SQS compatible event notification service. Supported targets are message queues such as Kafka, NATS, AMQP, MQTT, Webhooks, and databases such as Elasticsearch, Redis, Postgres, and MySQL. Thumbnail generation, OCR and audit compliance are good examples of lambda computing.
Encryption and Tamper-Proof
Minio provides confidentiality, integrity and authenticity assurances for encrypted data with negligible performance overhead. Both server side and client side encryption are supported using AES-256-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305 and AES-CBC. Encrypted objects are tamper-proofed with AEAD server side encryption.
Pluggable Storage Backend
In addition to Minio’s own filesystem and erasure code backends for DAS and JBODs, external storage backends such as NAS, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage are supported as well.
