Not on the current edition
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar

Object storage is a popular choice for storing unstructured data and in a few cases structured data in the cloud. We do discourage the use of generic cloud but if you want to minimize the risk of cloud stickiness for object storage, we've found MinIO quite helpful. With an S3-compatible API layer, MinIO abstracts object storage across cloud providers, including AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and we've used it successfully in products with flexible target infrastructures from data centers to cloud providers.
