Transition tiers can be added to MinIO using `mc admin tier add` command to associate a `gcs`, `s3` or `azure` bucket or prefix path on a bucket to the tier name.
Lifecycle transition rules can be applied to buckets (both versioned and un-versioned) by specifying the tier name defined above as the transition storage class for the lifecycle rule.

## Implementation

| xlVersionMajor | uint16         | Major xl-meta version.
| xlVersionMinor | uint16         | Minor xl-meta version.
| xlMetaV2       | msgp bin array | Bin array with serialized metadata
| crc            | msgp uint      | Lower 32 bits of 64 bit xxhash of previous array contents (v1.2+ only)
| inline data    | binary         | Inline data if any, see Inline Data section for encoding.

## v1.0-v1.2 Versions

- i.e with `mc stat --version-id dm-version-id`

It must be noted that if active-active replication is set up with delete marker replication, there is potential for duplicate delete markers to be created if both source and target concurrently set a Delete Marker or if one/both of the clusters went down at tandem before the replication event was synced.This is an unavoidable side-effect in active-active replication caused by allowing delete markers set on a object version with `REPLICA` status...
