The main difference between various MinIO-KMS deployments is the KMS implementation. The following table helps you select the right option for your use case:

| KMS                                                                                          | Purpose                                                           |

* Long-running requests with small/medium payloads.

Do *not* use the MinIO Grid for:

* 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

{{- end }}

{{ if and (.Values.networkPolicy.enabled) (not .Values.networkPolicy.allowExternal) }}
Note: Since NetworkPolicy is enabled, only pods with label
{{ template "minio.fullname" . }}-client=true"
will be able to connect to this minio cluster.

STS API extension. A user or application can now present a token to the `AssumeRoleWithCustomToken` API, and MinIO verifies this token by sending it to the Identity Management Plugin webhook. This plugin responds with some information and MinIO is able to generate temporary STS credentials to interact with object storage.

The authentication flow is similar to that of OpenID, however the token is "opaque" to MinIO - it is simply sent to the plugin for verification. CAVEAT: There is no console...

MinIO protects data against hardware failures and silent data corruption using erasure code and checksums. With the highest level of redundancy, you may lose up to half (N/2) of the total drives and still be able to recover the data.

## What is Erasure Code?

When configured, MinIO sends request and credential details for every API call to an external HTTP(S) endpoint and expects an allow/deny response. MinIO is thus able to delegate access management to an external system, and users are able to use a custom solution instead of S3 standard IAM policies.

### Enable Keycloak Admin REST API support

Before being able to authenticate against the Admin REST API using a client_id and a client_secret you need to make sure the client is configured as it follows:

- `account` client_id is a confidential client that belongs to the realm `{realm}`

- Follow the on screen wizard

- On the Capacity Tier screen, check the box to Extend scale-out backup repository capacity with object storage checkbox and select the object storage. If you want to be able to test backup data immediately after a job is run, under the object storage selection, check the "Copy" box and uncheck the "Move" box.

### Create a backup job

#### Backup Virtual Machines with Veeam Backup and Replication

- To be able to reliably use S3 multipart APIs feature of the SDKs without re-inventing the wheel of pre-signing the each URL in multipart API. This is very tedious to implement with all the scenarios of fault tolerance that's already implemented by the client SDK. The general client SDKs don't support multipart with presigned URLs.

The main limitation is that to update or delete content of a file inside a ZIP file the entire ZIP file must be replaced.
