Minio can be used as object storage in Microsoft Azure.

MinIO is an open-source object storage solution.

Yes, Minio can be used as an offline object storage solution in Azure Blob storage with API compatibility by running Minio on an Azure virtual machine or as a managed service.

It can be configured to store data in an Azure Blob storage container. This allows Minio to access the data in Azure Blob storage and provide a compatible S3-style API to access the data.

And Applications can interact with the Minio instance as if it were an S3 bucket, allowing for offline processing of data stored in Azure Blob storage.

Minio Features

It is compatible with the Azure Blob Storage API and can be used in production environments. It is a high performance, scalability, and compatibility with cloud native tools and technologies.

MinIO supports multi-cloud, on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments, and it is a flexible choice for offline storage.

Steps to seup Minio

  1. You can install MinIO on a server/ virtual machine / cloud platform like AWS, GCP, Azure or DigitalOcean.
  2. Start MinIO with a unique endpoint and access/secret keys to access your data.
  3. Create a bucket in MinIO to store your data.
  4. You can upload data to MinIO using the MinIO client, S3 API, or the MinIO browser.
  5. You can access your data stored in MinIO through the MinIO client, S3 API, or the MinIO browser.
  6. MinIO provides features like versioning, lifecycle policies, access controls, and more to manage your data.

  • If you are looking for an on-premise solution that is compatible with the Azure Storage API, you can consider using Minio. Minio is an open-source, Amazon S3 compatible object storage solution that can be installed on-premise. It provides a REST API that is compatible with the Azure Storage API, so you can use your existing Azure Storage API code with Minio with minimal modifications – Rajesh Mopati Feb 07 '23 at 01:12
  • You can install Minio on a server in your own datacenter and configure it to use your own storage. Minio provides a simple and efficient way to store and retrieve large amounts of data, and its API compatibility with Azure Storage API makes it an attractive alternative to Azure Storage for on-premise scenarios. – Rajesh Mopati Feb 07 '23 at 01:13
