# 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.

## 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
|
|
* [DigitalOcean][7]
|
|
* Quobyte
|
|
|
|
_Some storage providers, like Quobyte, may need a different [signature algorithm version][15]._

### Adding a new plugin
|
|
|
|
To write a plugin for a new backup or volume storage system, take a look at the [example repo][8].
