MinIO connection
To access your data in MinIO, create a connection asset for it.
MinIO is an Amazon S3 compatible server-side software storage stack. It can handle unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups, and container images.
Create a connection to MinIO
To create the connection asset, you need these connection details:
- Bucket
- Endpoint URL
- Secret key
- Access key
For Credentials, you can use secrets if a vault is configured for the platform and the service supports vaults. For information, see Using secrets from vaults in connections.
