### List of Amazon S3 API's not supported on Minio
We found the following APIs to be redundant or less useful outside of AWS S3. If you have a different view on any of the APIs we missed, please open a [github issue](https://github.com/minio/minio/issues).

#### List of Amazon S3 Bucket API's not supported on Minio

- BucketACL (Use [bucket policies](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-complete-guide#policy) instead)
- BucketCORS (CORS enabled by default on all buckets for all HTTP verbs)
- BucketLifecycle (Not required for Minio erasure coded backend)
- BucketReplication (Use [`mc mirror`](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-complete-guide#mirror) instead)
- BucketVersions, BucketVersioning (Use [`s3git`](https://github.com/s3git/s3git))
- BucketWebsite (Use [`caddy`](https://github.com/mholt/caddy) or [`nginx`](https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/))
- BucketAnalytics, BucketMetrics, BucketLogging (Use [bucket notification](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-complete-guide#events) APIs)
- BucketRequestPayment
- BucketTagging

#### List of Amazon S3 Object API's not supported on Minio

- ObjectACL (Use [bucket policies](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-complete-guide#policy) instead)
- ObjectTorrent
- ObjectVersions

### Object name restrictions on Minio
Object names that contain characters `^*|\/&";` are unsupported on Windows and other file systems which do not support filenames with these characters. Note that this list is not exhaustive, and depends on the maintainers of the filesystem itself.

Add large bucket support for erasure coded backend (#5160) This PR implements an object layer which combines input erasure sets of XL layers into a unified namespace. This object layer extends the existing erasure coded implementation, it is assumed in this design that providing > 16 disks is a static configuration as well i.e if you started the setup with 32 disks with 4 sets 8 disks per pack then you would need to provide 4 sets always. Some design details and restrictions: - Objects are distributed using consistent ordering to a unique erasure coded layer. - Each pack has its own dsync so locks are synchronized properly at pack (erasure layer). - Each pack still has a maximum of 16 disks requirement, you can start with multiple such sets statically. - Static sets set of disks and cannot be changed, there is no elastic expansion allowed. - Static sets set of disks and cannot be changed, there is no elastic removal allowed. - ListObjects() across sets can be noticeably slower since List happens on all servers, and is merged at this sets layer.
