## Architecture

![bucket-lookup](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/federation/lookup/bucket-lookup.png?raw=true)

### Environment variables

#### MINIO_ETCD_ENDPOINTS

This is comma separated list of etcd servers that you want to use as the MinIO federation back-end. This should
be same across the federated deployment, i.e. all the MinIO instances within a federated deployment should use same
etcd back-end.

Spark/Hadoop workloads which use Hadoop MR Committer v1/v2 algorithm upload objects to a temporary prefix in a bucket. These objects are 'renamed' to a different prefix on Job commit. Object storage admins are forced to configure separate ILM policies to expire these objects and their versions to reclaim space.

### Solution

- Configures required iptables, sockets, and packet routing miscellanea within the `ztunnel` and application pod network namespaces to make that happen.

This component accomplishes that in the following ways:

1. By installing a separate, very basic "CNI plugin" binary onto the node to forward low-level pod lifecycle events (CmdAdd/CmdDel/etc) from whatever node-level CNI subsystem is in use to this node agent for processing via socket.

KEY:
notify_kafka[:name]  publish bucket notifications to Kafka endpoints

ARGS:
brokers*         (csv)       comma separated list of Kafka broker addresses
topic            (string)    Kafka topic used for bucket notifications
sasl_username    (string)    username for SASL/PLAIN or SASL/SCRAM authentication

```
KEY:
etcd  federate multiple clusters for IAM and Bucket DNS

ARGS:
endpoints*       (csv)       comma separated list of etcd endpoints e.g. "http://localhost:2379"
path_prefix      (path)      namespace prefix to isolate tenants e.g. "customer1/"
coredns_path     (path)      shared bucket DNS records, default is "/skydns"

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

Handlers have a predefined Handler ID.

## Snapshots and Documentation

Snapshots of Guava built from the `master` branch are available through Maven

This is the first step of the installation. Please do not remove or edit any CRD - config currently requires
all CRDs to be present. On each upgrade it is recommended to reapply the file, to make sure
you get all CRDs.  CRDs are separated by release and by component type in the CRD directory.

Istio has strong integration with certmanager.  Some operators may want to keep their current certmanager
