  • Full disclosure: Haven’t read the article yet.

    Working in corporate IT, this most likely is targeted toward enterprise customers who either take a long time to roll out OS upgrades or can’t due to technical limitations within their environment. In those cases, paying the cost of extended support is more palatable to troubleshooting or rushing mass OS upgrades. This is a fairly common practice with enterprise software vendors.

    Edit: Okay, just skimmed it. Looks like this is actually a new program for non-enterprise consumers, which is interesting. First I’ve heard of that.













  • Hmm…this should work but I do have a concern on it based on my experience with AWS. Maybe this is different with minio though.

    In AWS, S3 bucket names are globally unique. Not just to your AWS account, but across ALL S3 buckets period. So let’s say you have a username of “test” and use that policy. If that user attempts to create a bucket and that bucket name is taken, well that user is out of luck.

    Obviously if minio doesn’t require globally unique bucket names you’re probably fine, but otherwise this could realistically become a problem.
