For testing purposes, here is [how to create self-signed certificates](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/tls#3-generate-self-signed-certificates).

## 2. Create Kubernetes secret

### AUTHPARAMS

Indicates STS API Authorization information. If you are familiar with AWS Signature V4 Authorization header, this STS API supports signature V4 authorization as mentioned [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html)

### DurationSeconds

of the Go compiler (that uses BoringCrypto, from BoringSSL, which is [FIPS 140-2 validated](https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/documents/security-policies/140sp2964.pdf)) published by the Golang Team [here](https://github.com/golang/go/tree/dev.boringcrypto/misc/boring).

MinIO FIPS executables are available at <http://dl.min.io> - they are only published for `linux-amd64` architecture as binary files with the suffix `.fips`. We also publish corresponding...

## Prerequisites

- Prometheus and MinIO configured as explained in [document here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/README.md).
- Grafana installed as explained [here](https://grafana.com/grafana/download).

	httpServer.MaxHeaderBytes = DefaultMaxHeaderBytes
	return httpServer

// SetMinIOVersion -- MinIO version from the main package is set here
func SetMinIOVersion(version string) {
	GlobalMinIOVersion = version
}

// SetDeploymentID -- Deployment Id from the main package is set here
func SetDeploymentID(deploymentID string) {
	GlobalDeploymentID = deploymentID

## 1. Prerequisites

* Familiarity with [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/overview/).
* Docker installed on your machine. Download the relevant installer from [here](https://www.docker.com/community-edition#/download).

## 2. Run Distributed MinIO on Docker Compose

failed_count_site2=$(./s3-check-md5 -versions -access-key minioadmin -secret-key minioadmin -endpoint http://site2-nginx:9002 -bucket testbucket 2>&1 | grep FAILED | wc -l)

## we do not need to fail here, since we are going to test
## upgrading to master, healing and being able to recover
## the last version.
if [ $failed_count_site1 -ne 0 ]; then
	echo "failed with multipart on site1 uploads ${failed_count_site1}"
fi

This file is the source of truth for each `version` at rest. `xl.meta` is a msgpack file serialized from a
well defined data structure. To understand `xl.meta` here are the few things to start with

`xl.meta` carries first 8 bytes an XL header which describes the current format and the format version,

```
minio server http://host{1...16}/export{1...64}
```

## Architecture

Expansion of ellipses and choice of erasure sets based on this expansion is an automated process in MinIO. Here are some of the details of our underlying erasure coding behavior.
