The goal of the S3 team at Amazon, or somebody like Backblaze is to make hard drives 100% of costs. That is, they want to reduce the cost of compute, datacenter

The goal of the S3 team at Amazon, or somebody like Backblaze is to make hard drives 100% of costs. That is, they want to reduce the cost of compute, datacenters, racks etc. to approximately zero.
If CPUs are dominating your costs or performance, then you're doing S3 Compatible Object Storage wrong IMO.
- wmf 6y agoI don't think Minio is trying to compete directly against S3, especially when they run on EC2 (a service running on AWS will never be cheaper than AWS itself). It sounds like they're targeting a higher-performance S3-compatible niche.
