alt Hacker NewsMinIO still makes no sense, as Ceph is fundamentally already RADOS at its core (fully compatible with S3 API.)
For a proper Ceph setup, even the 45drives budget configuration is still not "hobby" grade.
I will have to dive into the MinIO manual at some point, as the value proposition still seems like a mystery. Cheers =3

Yes, Ceph is RADOS at its core. However, RADOS != S3. Ceph provides an S3 compatible backend with the RADOS Gateway (RGW).

MinIO is far less complex than getting same functionality on Ceph stack.
But that's kind of advantage only on the small companies and hobbyist market, big company either have enough needs to run big ceph cluster, or to buy it as a service.
Minio is literally "point it at storage(s), done". And at far smaller RAM usage.
Ceph is mon servers, osd servers, then rados gatway server on top of that.
