S3 Compatible?

[Tom Glod]

Paul, thanks for your thoughts, you are right there are some traps with the
s3 compatible part, and some unknown that we may not know about.

Richard, thanks for letting me know about those libraries, its definitely
another option that can be used to achieve the same result. I will
definitely look.

MINIO made me drool, if you haven't looked into it, its very very
impressive and seems like a more modern object storage option for modern
software.

Informative discussion, I'm sorry I started out annoyed.
