Nutanix had originally used the API server in MinIO to translate between the S3 REST API and internal RPCs. MinIO's claim on this blog post that "Nutanix Objects is built around MinIO object storage" is a gross exaggeration.

By the time I joined in June 2021, MinIO was deprecated and we were using an in-house S3 REST API server. I am skeptical that any of the APGL code was distributed because we just weren't using it around the time that MinIO changed from Apache to AGPL.

The MinIO path was deprecated by the time that I joined. I don't have enough information to confidently side with either Nutanix or MinIO, but I'll clarify and confirm a few things:

- As you said, MinIO was used to translate S3 REST API requests to internal RPCs.

- MinIO was replaced with an in-house S3 API server.

- I distinctly remember seeing a patch 6-12 months ago where MinIO was removed from the build.
