##### Node (optional)

Optionally you can also collect per node metrics. This needs to be done on a per server instance.
The scrape configurations should use all the servers under `targets` so that graphing systems like
grafana can visualize them for all the nodes

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: minio-job
  metrics_path: /minio/v2/metrics/node
  scheme: http
  static_configs:

```
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.

To verify auto-encryption, use the following `mc` command:

```

Handlers have a predefined Handler ID. 
In addition, there can be several *static* subroutes used to differentiate between different handlers of the same ID.
A subroute on a client must match a subroute on the server. So routes cannot be used for dynamic routing, unlike HTTP.

Handlers should remain backwards compatible. If a breaking API change is required, a new handler ID should be created.

## Setup & Configuration

  use basic "readwrite" canned policy to test all the operations before you finalize on what level
  of restrictions are needed for a user.

- No "admin:*" operations are needed for FTP/SFTP access to the bucket(s) and object(s), so you may
  skip them for restrictions.

## Usage

Start MinIO in a distributed setup, with 'ftp/sftp' enabled.

```
minio server http://server{1...4}/disk{1...4}

### Step 1: Ensure minimum requirements are met

MinIO requires Kafka version 0.10 or 0.9. Internally MinIO uses the [Shopify/sarama](https://github.com/Shopify/sarama/) library and so has the same version compatibility as provided by this library.

### Step 2: Add Kafka endpoint to MinIO

## Upgrading MinIO

Upgrades require zero downtime in MinIO, all upgrades are non-disruptive, all transactions on MinIO are atomic. So upgrading all the servers simultaneously is the recommended way to upgrade MinIO.

### 3. Compression + Encryption

Combining encryption and compression is not safe in all setups.
This is particularly so if the compression ratio of your content reveals information about it.
See [CRIME TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRIME) as an example of this.

storage by _(newly_added_servers\*m)_ more drives, taking the total count to _(existing_servers\*m)+(newly_added_servers\*m)_ drives. New object upload requests automatically start using the least used cluster. This expansion strategy works endlessly, so you can perpetually expand your clusters as needed.  When you restart, it is immediate and non-disruptive to the applications. Each group of servers in the command-line is called a pool. There are 2 server pools in this example. New objects are placed...
