InfluxDB 3 Core can be configured to use different object storage providers
to store time series data in Parquet format. The process of configuring and
connecting to different object storage providers varies.
The following guides walk through configuring, connecting to, and using
different object storage providers as your InfluxDB 3 Core object store.

### [MinIO](/influxdb3/core/object-storage/minio/)

Use [MinIO](https://min.io) as the object store for your InfluxDB 3 Core instance.
InfluxDB uses the MinIO S3-compatible API to interact with your MinIO server or
cluster.
