Since MinIO is an object storage server that implements the same public API as Amazon S3, can it be used to store terraform's state?

When using a remote terraform state with S3, it is recomended to use a dynamoDB table for:
For example:
terraform {
backend "s3" {
bucket = "infra-tfstate"
key = "jenkins/terraform.tfstate"
region = "eu-west-1"
dynamodb_table = "terraform_locks"
}
}

When you are working with the terraform state on a S3 bucket if you cancel an operation you might end up with the lock not being released so you won't be able to perform any more changes (not even plan a new change!)
$ terraform plan
Acquiring state lock. This may take a few moments...

Info:
Terraform acquires a state lock to protect the state from being written
by multiple users at the same time. Please resolve the issue above and try
again. For most commands, you can disable locking with the "-lock=false"
flag, but this is not recommended.
