That seems very confusing
- MonkeyClub 5y agoSo that AWS can still get people to pay subscription fees to them, instead of using their own hardware with a FOSS solution, if MinIO becomes too popular.
- remram 5y agoI don't understand. Aren't you describing S3? Why would Amazon offer a second version of S3?
- cyberge99 5y agoSelf hosted as a feature. Akin to managed vs colo hosting.
- motives 5y agoThey pretty much already offer this with outposts (its technically their hardware but its on your premises).
- remram 5y agoBy "self-hosted" you still mean still running on AWS hardware? I don't understand. Why would anybody pay EBS rates instead of S3 rates, to get data stored in the same place by the same people?

- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoI understood it as a joke referencing Aamazon's tendency to take just any open source product that happens to gain enough popularity, rename it and offer it as a shiny new feature of AWS.
- remram 5y agoAmazon wouldn't, but another cloud service might decide to run this rather than implementing their own S3-compatible object storage from scratch. Or they might use part of Minio's code to make their existing object storage solution compatible with S3.
