MinIO Object Storage Architecture and Operations

"MinIO Object Storage Architecture and Operations" "MinIO Object Storage Architecture and Operations" offers an exhaustive and insightful exploration into the world of software-defined object storage, with a precise focus on MinIO’s open-source platform. From foundational principles distinguishing object storage from traditional block and file paradigms, the book guides the reader through MinIO’s design vision, S3 compatibility, and a nuanced ecosystem analysis. Each concept – from buckets and metadata to the critical role of APIs and supported infrastructure environments – is meticulously explained, framing MinIO within the broader storage landscape. Delving into internal architecture, deployment strategies, and operational excellence, the book provides a clear view of distributed system design, erasure coding for resilience, and cluster scalability. Readers will gain hands-on knowledge of deploying MinIO on bare metal, virtualized, and cloud-native platforms, with detailed guidance on Kubernetes integration, infrastructure automation, and best practices for large-scale environments. Security is accorded comprehensive coverage, encompassing authentication, encryption, compliance, and API safeguarding, equipping administrators to meet stringent regulatory and operational requirements. Beyond deployment and management, the book examines advanced features such as disaster recovery, policy-driven lifecycle management, performance tuning, and observability methods using state-of-the-art tooling. Practical integration advice for analytics, machine learning, event-driven systems, and hybrid identity federation is coupled with robust operational playbooks for upgrades, disaster recovery, and proactive cluster maintenance. Finally, a forward-looking analysis discusses trends shaping the future of object storage—including its pivotal role in AI, big data, edge computing, and next-generation security and compliance—making this book a definitive resource for both practitioners and architects seeking mastery of MinIO-enabled object storage.
Cloud Object Storage as a Service: IBM Cloud Object Storage from Theory to Practice - For developers, IT architects and IT specialists

The digital enterprise has resulted in an explosion of data, and data volumes are expected to grow in zettabyte scale in the next few years. This explosive growth is largely fueled by unstructured data, such as video, social media, photos, and text. IBM® Cloud Object Storage (previously known as Cleversafe®) provides organizations the flexibility, scalability, and simplicity required to store, manage, and access today's rapidly growing unstructured data. Cloud Object Storage (COS) provides access to your unstructured data via a self-service portal from anywhere in the world with RESTful APIs, including OpenStack Swift API and S3-compatible API, enterprise availability, and security. IBM COS is available in the following deployment models: Private on-premises object storage Dedicated object storage (single-tenant) Public object storage (multi-tenant) Hybrid object storage (a mix of on-premises, dedicated or public offerings) This IBM Redbooks® publication focuses on the IBM COS public offering, IBM COS Public Services, and hybrid solutions leveraging this offering. This book is for solution developers, architects, and IT specialists who are implementing Cloud Object Storage solutions.
IBM Cloud Object Storage System Product Guide

Object storage is the primary storage solution that is used in the cloud and on-premises solutions as a central storage platform for unstructured data. IBM Cloud Object Storage is a software-defined storage (SDS) platform that breaks down barriers for storing massive amounts of data by optimizing the placement of data on commodity x86 servers across the enterprise. This IBM Redbooks® publication describes the major features, use case scenarios, deployment options, configuration details, initial customization, performance, and scalability considerations of IBM Cloud Object Storage on-premises offering. For more information about the IBM Cloud Object Storage architecture and technology that is behind the product, see IBM Cloud Object Storage Concepts and Architecture , REDP-5537. The target audience for this publication is IBM Cloud Object Storage IT specialists and storage administrators.
