A non-current object version is a version which is not the latest for a given object. It is possible to set up an automatic removal of non-current versions when a version becomes older than a given number of days.

e.g., To scan objects stored under `user-uploads/` prefix and remove versions older than one year.

```
{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "ID": "Removing all old versions",
            "Filter": {

	prefix: PREFIX
	# NOTE: if target is remote then source must be "local"
	# endpoint: ENDPOINT
	# credentials:
	#   accessKey: ACCESS-KEY
	#   secretKey: SECRET-KEY
	#   sessionToken: SESSION-TOKEN # Available when rotating credentials are used

  # optional flags based filtering criteria
  # for all source objects
  flags:
	filter:
	  newerThan: "7d" # match objects newer than this value (e.g. 7d10h31s)

revolves around the idea of applications deployed as micro services, that scale well. It is not about just retrofitting monolithic applications onto modern container based compute environment. A cloud-native application is portable and resilient by design, and can scale horizontally by simply replicating. Modern orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, DC/OS make replicating and managing containers in huge clusters easier than ever.

While containers provide isolated application execution...

```sh
export MINIO_BROWSER=off
minio server /data
```

### Domain

Do *not* use the MinIO Grid for:

* Large payloads.

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. 

## Installing

The new installer is intended to be modular and very explicit about what is installed. It has
far more steps than the Istio installer - but each step is smaller and focused on a specific
feature, and can be performed by different people/teams at different times.

It is strongly recommended that different namespaces are used, with different service accounts.

`STANDARD` storage class implies more parity than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` class. So, `STANDARD` parity drives should be

- Greater than or equal to 2, if `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity is not set.
- Greater than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity, if it is set.

Parity blocks can not be higher than data blocks, so `STANDARD` storage class parity can not be higher than N/2. (N being total number of drives)

```

The operator validates the configuration and automatically detects syntax errors. If you are
using Helm values that are incompatible, the schema validation used in the operator may reject input that is valid for
Helm.
Each Istio component has K8s settings, and these can be overridden from the defaults using official K8s APIs rather than
Istio defined schemas ([samples/pilot-k8s.yaml](samples/pilot-k8s.yaml)):

```yaml

            }
        }
    ]
}
```

## Publish MinIO events via Webhooks

[Webhooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook) are a way to receive information when it happens, rather than continually polling for that data.

### Step 1: Add Webhook endpoint to MinIO

Bit Rot, also known as data rot or silent data corruption is a data loss issue faced by disk drives today. Data on the drive may silently get corrupted without signaling an error has occurred, making bit rot more dangerous than a permanent hard drive failure.

MinIO's erasure coded backend uses high speed [HighwayHash](https://github.com/minio/highwayhash) checksums to protect against Bit Rot.
