> NOTE: if *path_prefix* is set then MinIO will not federate your buckets, namespaced IAM assets are assumed as isolated tenants, only buckets are considered globally unique but performing a lookup with a *bucket* which belongs to a different tenant will fail unlike federated setups where MinIO would port-forward and route the request to relevant cluster accordingly. This is a special feature, federated deployments...

func loadClusterNotificationMetrics(_ context.Context, m MetricValues, _ *metricsCache) error {

The command will generate the `scrape_configs` section of the prometheus.yml as follows:

##### Cluster

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: minio-job
  bearer_token: <secret>
  metrics_path: /minio/v2/metrics/cluster
  scheme: http
  static_configs:

  ##
  subPath: ""

## Expose the MinIO service to be accessed from outside the cluster (LoadBalancer service).
## or access it from within the cluster (ClusterIP service). Set the service type and the port to serve it.
## ref: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/services/
##
service:
  type: ClusterIP
  clusterIP: ~
  port: "9000"
  nodePort: 32000
  loadBalancerIP: ~

Description of the configuration parameters used above -

- `users[].accessKey` - accessKey of user
- `users[].secretKey` - secretKey of usersecretRef
- `users[].existingSecret` - secret name that contains the secretKey of user
- `users[].existingSecretKey` - data key in existingSecret secret containing the secretKey
- `users[].policy` - name of the policy to assign to user

### Create service account after install

## Creating a hotfix branch

Customers in MinIO are allowed LTS on any release they choose to standardize. Production setups seldom change and require maintenance. Hotfix branches are such maintenance branches that allow customers to operate a production cluster without drastic changes to their deployment.

## Backporting a fix

As the initial step, fetch the private key and certificate of the root identity:

```sh
curl -sSL --tlsv1.2 \
     -O 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/kes/master/root.key' \
     -O 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/kes/master/root.cert'
```

### 2. Set the MinIO-KES configuration

```sh
export MINIO_KMS_KES_ENDPOINT=https://play.min.io:7373
export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_FILE=root.key

```yaml
    volumeMounts:
        - name: secret-volume
          mountPath: /<user-running-minio>/.minio/certs
```

Here the name of `volumeMount` should match the name of `volume` created previously. Also `mountPath` must be set to the path of
the MinIO server's config sub-directory that is used to store certificates. By default, the location is
`/<user-running-minio>/.minio/certs`.
