Given that MinIO seems to be canonical way to add S3 API compatibility to Azure Blob Storage[1], this is not very encouraging.

We have a lot of products that use S3 API and Azure was the only cloud that did not offer that out of the box - at first I could not believe this was the case, because even smaller providers like Linode or Digitalocean offer S3 API compatibility. But then I found the post linked below.

It's good that there are more alternatives, this seems like it might be a lighter weight alternative compared to MinIO.

Still, I wish Azure just added a built-in compatibility layer, like virtually every other cloud provider - I'm not a big fan of having to spin up a container just for this reason.
