Which alternatives are there though? Honest question.

- Ceph

- SeaweedFS

- Garage

- CubeFS

- Apache Ozone

Do any of them fill the niche that MinIO sits in? (Relatively easy to set up and operate and with all the typical enterprise bells & whistles)

Ozone/Ceph -> Way more complicated

Among others, an inevitable torrent of forks of MinIO by people who want to keep the UI but backport any other security or architectural fixes.

Or, as the author points out and if it works for you, a 33% price increase to go to B2 from Backblaze and not have to manage your own hardware, network, infrastructure, etc.

Or, for enterprise shops, another storage appliance with an S3-compatible interface (e.g. Dell has some options)

Our customers are mostly on-prem and we usually hope they have a storage appliance (Netapp, Dell, VAST, ...).

But for those wanting other options and self-host something it's not clear cut.

Most of the selfhosting gang seems to be going for garage out of those
