In this section, we will create an S3 object storage using MinIO to store artifacts or configuration files created by your applications in Kubernetes. You will learn how to create deployment manifest files, deploy an S3 service, and provide an external IP address for other applications or users to consume the service.

$ git clone https://github.com/k8sdevopscookbook/src.git
$ cd src/chapter6
