### 2. Configure authentication type for Prometheus metrics

MinIO supports two authentication modes for Prometheus either `jwt` or `public`, by default MinIO runs in `jwt` mode. To allow public access without authentication for prometheus metrics set environment as follows.

```
export MINIO_PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TYPE="public"

when a object placed in the bucket meets lifecycle transition rules and becomes eligible for tiering. MinIO scanner (which runs at one minute intervals, each time scanning one sixteenth of the namespace), picks up the object for tiering. The data is moved to the remote tier in entirety, leaving only the object metadata on MinIO.

The data on the backend is stored under the `bucket/prefix` specified in the tier configuration with a custom name derived from a randomly generated uuid - e.g. `0...

ILM transition feature. This will allow transitioning of older objects to a different cluster or the public cloud by setting up transition rules in the bucket lifecycle configuration. This feature enables applications to optimize storage costs by moving less frequently accessed data to a cheaper storage without compromising accessibility of data.

To transition objects in a bucket to a destination bucket on a different cluster, applications need to specify a transition tier defined on MinIO...

### Consistency Guarantees

MinIO follows strict **read-after-write** and **list-after-write** consistency model for all i/o operations both in distributed and standalone modes. This consistency model is only guaranteed if you use disk filesystems such as xfs, zfs or btrfs etc.. for distributed setup.
