S3 is a widely supported API schema, so if you need something on-prem, you use these.

But what's the point to use these DIY object storage systems, when they do not provide durability and other important guarantees provided by S3 and GCS?

  • When you want just the API for compatibility, I guess?

    Self-hosted S3 clones with actual durability guarantees exist, but the only properly engineered open source choices are Ceph + radosgw (single-region, though) or Garage (global replication based on last-writer-wins CRDS conflict resolution).
