 In this section, you simulate a real-world AI/ML workflow using MinIO. You'll upload a training dataset and a model artifact, then retrieve them to simulate how a training or inference job would access data from object storage.

+## Why MinIO on Azure Cobalt 100
+
+MinIO is an open source, Amazon S3 compatible object storage platform you can run on your own infrastructure. Running MinIO on Azure Cobalt 100 Arm-based processors provides high-throughput storage with the performance consistency needed for cloud-native workloads. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll have MinIO running on an Azure Cobalt 100 virtual machine, with measured storage throughput, confirmed S3 API compatibility using Python, and a practical AI/ML workflow for storing and retrieving datasets and model artifacts.

 ## Azure Cobalt 100 Arm-based processor
 
 Azure Cobalt 100 is Microsoft's first-generation Arm-based processor, built on Arm Neoverse N2. It allocates a dedicated physical core for each vCPU, which provides consistent and predictable performance for cloud-native, scale-out Linux workloads. These characteristics make Cobalt 100 well suited for storage-intensive applications like MinIO, where throughput and latency consistency matter.

-MinIO is an open source, Amazon S3 compatible object storage platform you can run on your own infrastructure. It supports the Amazon S3 API, so applications and SDKs written for S3 work with MinIO without modification. This makes it a practical choice when you want S3-compatible storage without cloud vendor lock-in, or when your compute and storage need to run in the same environment to avoid data transfer costs.

 MinIO is optimized for high-throughput workloads and supports both standalone and distributed deployments. It includes erasure coding, encryption, and access control, and has a minimal footprint that works well in containerized and cloud-native environments.
 
-By the end, you'll have MinIO running on an Azure Cobalt 100 virtual machine. You'll have measured its storage throughput, confirmed S3 API compatibility using a Python script, and worked through a practical AI/ML workflow for storing and retrieving datasets and model artifacts.
