On: What's the best AWS S3 protocol alternative?

[LinuxBender]

I believe Ceph [1][2] could be a good alternative. It can be self hosted and I believe some cloud providers also offer it. Here are some differences between S3 and Ceph [3].

And incidentally Ceph supports both S3 and Swift (which I think is the best S3 protocol alternative):

Digitalocean Spaces uses Ceph as their backend and it is NOT stable (at least with s3fs), had to migrate away from it and could not do a full-stack on DO (aka "no AWS") and had to swap in Wasabi.
