## 3. Activate ILM versioning features

This will only work with a versioned bucket, take a look at [Bucket Versioning Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/administration/object-management/object-versioning.html) for more understanding.

* Large payloads.

Only a single connection is ever made between two servers.
Likely this means that this connection will not be able to saturate network bandwidth.
Therefore, using this for large payloads will likely be slower than using a separate connection,
and other connections will be blocked while the large payload is being sent.

## Handlers & Routes

Handlers have a predefined Handler ID. 

The command will generate the `scrape_configs` section of the prometheus.yml as follows:

##### Cluster

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: minio-job
  bearer_token: <secret>
  metrics_path: /minio/v2/metrics/cluster

```
export MINIO_KMS_AUTO_ENCRYPTION=on
```

### Verify auto-encryption

> Note that auto-encryption only affects requests without S3 encryption headers. So, if a S3 client sends
> e.g. SSE-C headers, MinIO will encrypt the object with the key sent by the client and won't reach out to
> the configured KMS.

To verify auto-encryption, use the following `mc` command:

```
mc cp test.file myminio/bucket/

accounts across sites and the ability to disable root accounts eventually.

However, this means that STS tokens signed previously by root credentials will no longer be valid upon upgrading to the latest version with this change. Please re-generate them as you usually do. Additionally, if site replication is ever removed - the STS tokens will become invalid, regenerate them as you usually do....

on 16 drive MinIO deployment. If you use eight data and eight parity drives, the file space usage will be approximately twice, i.e. 100 MiB
file will take 200 MiB space. But, if you use ten data and six parity drives, same 100 MiB file takes around 160 MiB. If you use 14 data and
two parity drives, 100 MiB file takes only approximately 114 MiB.

- On versioned buckets, FTP/SFTP only operates on latest objects, if you need to retrieve
  an older version you must use an `S3 API client` such as [`mc`](https://github.com/minio/mc).

- All features currently used by your buckets will work as is without any changes
  - SSE (Server Side Encryption)
  - Replication (Server Side Replication)

## Prerequisites

### Checking cluster health for maintenance

You may query the cluster probe endpoint to check if the node which received the request can be taken down for maintenance, if the server replies back '412 Precondition Failed' this means you will lose HA. '200 OK' means you are okay to proceed.

```
curl http://minio1:9001/minio/health/cluster?maintenance=true
HTTP/1.1 412 Precondition Failed
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 0
Server: MinIO
Vary: Origin

  - `ListObjectsV2`
- If the ZIP file directory isn't located within the last 100MB the file will not be parsed.
- A maximum of 100M inside a single zip is allowed. However, a reasonable limit of 100,000 files inside a single ZIP archive is recommended for best performance and memory usage trade-off.

## Content-Type

### High availability

A stand-alone MinIO server would go down if the server hosting the drives goes offline. In contrast, a distributed MinIO setup with _m_ servers and _n_ drives will have your data safe as long as _m/2_ servers or _m*n_/2 or more drives are online.
