  name: MinIO Play
  description: >-
    Public, shared MinIO playground server. The `play` alias ships pre-configured
    in the mc client with published credentials, so anyone can exercise the full
    S3 API against a live server without provisioning one. Data is public and
    periodically wiped; do not store anything private.
  endpoint: https://play.min.io
  console: https://play.min.io:9443

    note: >-
      These are the public, intentionally-shared Play credentials shipped in the
      mc client source (cmd/config-v10.go). Published verbatim by MinIO; not
      secret. Buckets and objects are visible to all Play users.
  usage:
    mc: mc alias is preconfigured as `play`; e.g. `mc ls play/`
    sdk: point any MinIO SDK at endpoint play.min.io with the credentials above (useSSL=true)
  test_vs_live:
    separation: no test/live key prefixes; isolation is by deployment (Play is a separate public server)
