Episode 48 - MinIO

In this episode I talk with Garima Kapoor Chief Operating Officer and co-founder at MinIO. MiniO has built a high performance distributed s3-compatible object storage solution that is software defined, hardware agnostic designed for large scale data infrastructure. Garima and I talk about how MinIO was built from scratch with the private cloud as it's target but has also become a defaco standard for home labs through a strong focus on community. MinIO also offers high-performance, Kubernetes-native object storage. Optimized for cloud-native workloads, and looks to deliver Enterprise and service provider usecases around ML/AI, analytics, backup and archival workloads.

MinIO was founded in 2014 and is Head Quartered out of the San Francisco Bay Area.
