Thanks @lcanas, it's good to hear that you got this working and thanks for writing up your example setup.

In case it helps, the docs do mention the possibility of using "S3-compatible" services by setting the endpoint [in this note](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-s3-client.html#repository-s3-compatible-services).
