What is Minio?

Minio is an object storage server released under Apache License v2.0. It is compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. It is best suited for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups and container / VM images. Size of an object can range from a few KBs to a maximum of 5TB.

SQL Select

Data processing platforms like Spark, Presto, Hive, and Flink can analyze data with SQL select queries without downloading the entire object. It supports Parquet, JSON and CSV formats, as well as zipped and encrypted objects.

Multi-Site Federation

Federation combines an unlimited number of MinIO instances to form a unified global namespace.
