This page is reserved to talk about all things S3. S3 is short for Simple Storage Service. This storage service can be used to serve files up in a number of ways. Considered a storage class it can be used to store data and is convenient for Enterprise Storage and archiving to small lightweight transactions. Amazon Web Services introduced Amazon S3 in 2006; however S3 does not need to be to strictly be from AWS in todays world. Numberous 3rd parties now build S3 clients and servers.


This section will talk about Minio. We will divide this into a number of sections. As you might guess there are two main ways to install Minio. One method would be to deploy an execute the Minio executable thus starting a server instance. The other would be to launch a docker container housing the service.

Stand Alone:
* Install Minio

Clients:
