# Compatible Storage Providers
Ark supports a variety of storage providers for different backup and snapshot operations. As of version 0.6.0, a plugin system allows anyone to add compatibility for additional backup and volume storage platforms without modifying the Ark codebase.
## Backup Storage Providers
| Provider | Owner | Contact |
|---------------------------|----------|---------------------------------|
| [AWS S3][2] | Ark Team | [Slack][10], [GitHub Issue][11] |
| [Azure Blob Storage][3] | Ark Team | [Slack][10], [GitHub Issue][11] |
| [Google Cloud Storage][4] | Ark Team | [Slack][10], [GitHub Issue][11] |
## S3-Compatible Backup Storage Providers
Ark uses [Amazon's Go SDK][12] to connect to the S3 API. Some third-party storage providers also support the S3 API, and users have reported the following providers work with Ark:
_Note that these providers are not regularly tested by the Ark team._
* [IBM Cloud][5]
* [Minio][9]
* Ceph RADOS v12.2.7
## Volume Snapshot Providers
