Why are you calling it S3? That is a proprietary Amazon cloud technology. Why not call it what is it is, e.g. ZFS, file store, or object store? Let's not dilute terms.


> Garage implements the Amazon S3 API and thus is already compatible with many applications.

Yes, it's S3 API compatible, but it's not S3. The originally submitted article title misleads by claiming it's S3. There is no valid excuse.


That's a good point, it is S3 compatible object storage, not just S3. My experience with AWS S3 has impacted the way I use object storage and since this project is syncd to another S3 compatible object storage using the S3 protocol, in my head I just call it all S3.
