![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).

### 6. Configure Grafana

After Prometheus is configured, you can use Grafana to visualize MinIO metrics. Refer the [document here to setup Grafana with MinIO prometheus metrics](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/grafana/README.md).

```
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.

This document explains how to configure MinIO server with TLS certificates on Kubernetes.

## 1. Prerequisites

- Familiarity with [MinIO deployment process on Kubernetes](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/installation.html).

- Kubernetes cluster with `kubectl` configured.

This will reduce the pileup of waiting requests when clients are not configured with timeouts. Default wait time is *10 seconds* if *MINIO_API_REQUESTS_MAX* is enabled. This may need to be tuned to your application needs.

Object locking requires locking to be enabled on a bucket at the time of bucket creation refer to `mc mb --with-lock`, object locking enables versioning on the bucket and cannot be disabled.

A default retention period and retention mode can be configured on a bucket to be applied to objects created in that bucket. Independent of retention, an object can also be under legal hold. This effectively disallows all deletes of an object under legal hold until the legal hold is removed by an API call.

- Initially, only **one** of the sites added for replication may have data. After site-replication is successfully configured, this data is replicated to the other (initially empty) sites. Subsequently, objects may be written to any of the sites, and they will be replicated to all other sites.

- **Removing a site** is not allowed from a set of replicated sites once configured.
- All sites must be using the **same** external IDP(s) if any.

## Introduction

minio server /data
```

NOTE: If `etcd` is configured with `Client-to-server authentication with HTTPS client certificates` then you need to use additional envs such as `MINIO_ETCD_CLIENT_CERT` pointing to path to `etcd-client.crt` and `MINIO_ETCD_CLIENT_CERT_KEY` path to `etcd-client.key` .

### 4. Test with MinIO STS API

Once etcd is configured, **any STS configuration** will work including Client Grants, Web Identity or AD/LDAP.

## Liveness probe

This probe always responds with '200 OK'. Only fails if 'etcd' is configured and unreachable. When liveness probe fails, Kubernetes like platforms restart the container.

```
livenessProbe:
  httpGet:
    path: /minio/health/live
    port: 9000
    scheme: HTTP
  initialDelaySeconds: 120
