## Scope

The vulnerability management policy described in this document covers the
process of investigating, assessing and resolving a vulnerability report
opened by a MinIO employee or an external third party.

Therefore, it lists pre-conditions and actions that should be performed to
resolve and fix a reported vulnerability.

## Vulnerability Management Process

The vulnerability management process requires that the vulnerability report

```

### Using xl-meta

Decommissioning rate at 36 MiB/sec [4 TiB/50 TiB]
Started: 1 minute ago
```

Once it is **Complete**

```
λ mc admin decommission status alias/ http://minio{1...2}/data{1...4}
Decommission of pool http://minio{1...2}/data{1...4} is complete, you may now remove it from server command line
```

### A pool not under decommissioning will throw an error

```

OPA is enabled through MinIO's Access Management Plugin feature.

## Get started

### 1. Start OPA in a container

```sh
podman run -it \
    --name opa \
    --publish 8181:8181 \

## Prerequisites

- To be able to easily get the temporary credentials to upload to a prefix. Make it possible for a client to upload a whole folder using the session. The server side applications need not create a presigned URL and serve to the client for each file. Since, the client would have the session it can do it by itself.

![quota](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/bucket/quota/bucketquota.png)

Buckets can be configured to have `Hard` quota - it disallows writes to the bucket after configured quota limit is reached.

## Prerequisites

- Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#procedure).

`STANDARD` storage class implies more parity than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` class. So, `STANDARD` parity drives should be

- Greater than or equal to 2, if `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity is not set.
- Greater than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity, if it is set.

Parity blocks can not be higher than data blocks, so `STANDARD` storage class parity can not be higher than N/2. (N being total number of drives)

> **This list is non exhaustive, it depends on the operating system and filesystem under use - please consult your operating system vendor for a more comprehensive list of special characters**.

MinIO recommends using Linux operating system for production workloads.

The "Metadata" section contains a single version, encoded in similar fashion as each version in the `Versions` array
of the previous version.

## Inline Data

Inline data is optional. If no inline data is present, it is encoded as 0 bytes.
