- MinIO-Operator: Operator offers seamless way to create and update highly available distributed MinIO clusters. Refer [MinIO Operator documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio-operator/blob/master/README.md) for more details.

- Helm Chart: MinIO Helm Chart offers customizable and easy MinIO deployment with a single command. Refer [MinIO Helm Chart documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/helm/minio) for more details.

By default, parity for objects with standard storage class is set to `N/2`, and parity for objects with reduced redundancy storage class objects is set to `2`. Read more about storage class support in MinIO server [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/erasure/storage-class/README.md).

This README provides quickstart instructions on running MinIO on bare metal hardware, including container-based installations. For Kubernetes environments, use the [MinIO Kubernetes Operator](https://github.com/minio/operator/blob/master/README.md).

## Container Installation

Use the following commands to run a standalone MinIO server as a container.

After Prometheus is configured, you can use Grafana to visualize MinIO metrics. Refer the [document here to setup Grafana with MinIO prometheus metrics](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/grafana/README.md).

## List of metrics exposed by MinIO

- MinIO exports Prometheus compatible data by default as an authorized endpoint at `/minio/v2/metrics/cluster`. 

### Data protection

unintended overwrites, deletions, protect objects with retention policies.

To control data retention and storage usage, use object versioning with [object lifecycle management](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/bucket/lifecycle/README.md).  If you have an object expiration lifecycle policy in your non-versioned bucket and you want to maintain the same permanent delete behavior when on versioning-enabled bucket, you must add a noncurrent expiration policy. The noncurrent expiration...
