## Prerequisites

- Helm cli with Kubernetes cluster configured.
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure. (We recommend using <https://github.com/minio/direct-csi>)
- Use Kubernetes version v1.19 and later for best experience.

## Configure MinIO Helm repo

```bash
helm repo add minio https://charts.min.io/
```

### Installing the Chart

Install this chart using:

```bash

region   (string)    name of the location of the server e.g. "us-west-1"
comment  (sentence)  optionally add a comment to this setting
```

or environment variables

```
KEY:
site  label the server and its location

ARGS:
MINIO_SITE_NAME     (string)    name for the site e.g. "cal-rack0"
MINIO_SITE_REGION   (string)    name of the location of the server e.g. "us-west-1"

also connect using any S3-compatible tool, such as the MinIO Client `mc` commandline tool. See [Test using MinIO Client `mc`](#test-using-minio-client-mc) for more information on using the `mc` commandline tool. For application developers, see <https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/developers/minio-drivers.html> to view MinIO SDKs for supported languages.

> NOTE: Standalone MinIO servers are best suited for early development and evaluation. Certain features such as versioning, object locking,...

fs.s3a.socket.recv.buffer=65536 # Read socket buffer hint
fs.s3a.socket.send.buffer=65536 # Write socket buffer hint
fs.s3a.threads.max=2048 # Maximum number of threads for S3A
```

The rest of the other optimization options are discussed in the links below

Note that due to this extension behavior, AWS SDK's may not support the extension functionality pertaining to replicating versioned deletes.

Note that just like with [AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/delete-marker-replication.html), Delete marker replication is disallowed in MinIO when the replication rule has tags.
