microstorage

The ephemeral nature of microservices and their containers poses challanges for storing application state. In this article we look at using an object-store (Minio) and demonstrate how we can access it from a Spring-Boot service. We start by deploying a Docker-ized instance ofMinIO as our Spring-Boot object-store and then deploy the MinIO Kubernetes operator using Krew in a MicroK8s instance.
