# MinIO Batch Job
MinIO Batch jobs is an MinIO object management feature that lets you manage objects at scale. Jobs currently supported by MinIO

- Replicate objects between buckets on multiple sites

Upcoming Jobs

- Copy objects from NAS to MinIO
- Copy objects from HDFS to MinIO

## Replication Job
To perform replication via batch jobs, you create a job. The job consists of a job description YAML that describes

MinIO is a cloud-native application designed to scale in a sustainable manner in multi-tenant environments. Orchestration platforms provide perfect launchpad for MinIO to scale. Below is the list of MinIO deployment documents for various orchestration platforms:

[Grafana](https://grafana.com/) allows you to query, visualize, alert on and understand your metrics no matter where they are stored. Create, explore, and share dashboards with your team and foster a data driven culture.

## Prerequisites

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

transition_workers              (number)    set the number of transition workers (default: '100')
stale_uploads_expiry            (duration)  set to expire stale multipart uploads older than this values (default: '24h')
stale_uploads_cleanup_interval  (duration)  set to change intervals when stale multipart uploads are expired (default: '6h')

MinIO is a high performance distributed object storage server, designed for large-scale private cloud infrastructure. MinIO is designed in a cloud-native manner to scale sustainably in multi-tenant environments. Orchestration platforms like Kubernetes provide perfect cloud-native environment to deploy and scale MinIO.

## MinIO Deployment on Kubernetes

There are multiple options to deploy MinIO on Kubernetes:

1. [Standalone Deployment](#standalone-deployment)
2. [Distributed Deployment](#distributed-deployment)
3. [Cloud Scale Deployment](#cloud-scale-deployment)

## 1. Standalone Deployment

To host multiple tenants on a single machine, run one MinIO Server per tenant with a dedicated HTTPS port, configuration, and data directory.

### Creating the Scale-out Backup Repository

- Under the Backup Infrastructure view, click on Scale-out Repositories and click the Add Scale-out Repository button on the ribbon.

- Follow the on screen wizard

**NOTE:**

- All the nodes running distributed MinIO should share a common root credentials, for the nodes to connect and trust each other. To achieve this, it is **recommended** to export root user and root password as environment variables, `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD`, on all the nodes before executing MinIO server command. If not exported, default `minioadmin/minioadmin` credentials shall be used.
