Introduction
Minio is a high-performance object storage server that is compatible with the Amazon S3 API. Its design objective is to provide the performance and scalability of cloud storage services while maintaining the simplicity and ease of use of local storage. Minio can run on operating systems such as Linux, MacOS, and Windows, and can be managed through a command-line interface or RESTful API.
The core of Minio is object storage, which is a combination of binary data and metadata. Objects can be stored as files or as data structures in memory. Objects can be stored on different storage media, such as local disks, network file systems, cloud storage, etc. Minio supports multiple storage media and can easily store data to cloud storage services such as local disks, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Microsoft Azure Blob Storage.

The characteristics of Minio include:
High availability and scalability: Supports multiple replicas and distributed storage, allowing for easy expansion of storage capacity and throughput.
Compatibility: Compatible with Amazon S3 and seamlessly integrated with S3 API compatible applications.
Security: Supports SSL/TLS encryption and Server Side Encryption to ensure data security.
Open source: Minio is an open source software that can be freely obtained and used.
Storage method:
Minio is an object storage system based on the S3 protocol, which uses the Amazon S3 API protocol to provide high availability and scalability. S3 API compatible applications can directly use Minio for object storage operations. Minio uses Error Code to provide data redundancy to ensure high availability of data.
Applicable scenario:
Minio is suitable for scenarios that require high availability and scalability, especially applications that require compatibility with the S3 API. For example, scenarios such as web applications, big data analysis, backup, and archiving.
