Description: Minimization is the process of reducing something to the least amount or degree possible. In the context of technology, this concept applies to various areas, such as privacy and data protection, where the aim is to limit the collection and storage of personal information to what is strictly necessary. In optimization, minimization refers to improving processes and resources to achieve maximum efficiency with minimal input usage. In cloud cost optimization, it involves reducing operational expenses without sacrificing performance. In federated learning, minimization relates to reducing data transferred between devices while preserving privacy. In version control, the goal is to minimize conflicts and maintain a clean history. In machine learning with big data, minimization refers to reducing model complexity. AutoML and cloud auto-scaling also benefit from minimization, optimizing resources and processes. In the context of big data, minimization relates to reducing redundant data. Web performance optimization involves minimizing load times and resources used. Finally, data anonymization seeks to minimize the possibility of identifying individuals from collected data.
