Impressive work and a welcome addition for B2 users
From 2 comments
This is something Backblaze should provide on their side. But kudos and thanks minio for the work. Really impressive!

Objections
B2 and S3 are not directly comparable due to redundancy and integration differences
From 1 comment
With multi-region redundancy only (as reduced redundancy is actually more expensive) and amazing integration and workflow options, B2 and S3 are not comparable products.

Questions
Why B2 is not S3-compatible in the first place
From 1 comment
First time I've heard of B2. Makes you wonder why it's not S3-compatible in the first place...

Let's hope Amazon doesn't start doing something anticompetitive with the network routing to B2 from EC2, and instead competes on price.
