Whether you are planning to use Kubernetes StatefulSet or Kubernetes Deployment, the steps remain the same.

If you're using certificates provided by a CA, add the below section in your yaml file under `spec.volumes[]`

```yaml
    volumes:
      - name: secret-volume
        secret:
          secretName: tls-ssl-minio
          items:
          - key: public.crt
            path: public.crt
          - key: private.key

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 default value for the `STANDARD` storage class depends on the number of volumes in the erasure set:

| Erasure Set Size | Default Parity (EC:N) |
|------------------|-----------------------|
| 5 or fewer       |                 EC:2  |
| 6-7              |                 EC:3  |

**In our tests we also found ext4 does not honor POSIX O_DIRECT/Fdatasync semantics, ext4 trades performance for consistency guarantees. Please avoid ext4 in your setup.**

**If MinIO distributed setup is using NFS volumes underneath it is not guaranteed MinIO will provide these consistency guarantees since NFS is not strictly consistent (If you must use NFS we recommend that you at least use NFSv4 instead of NFSv3 for relatively better outcomes).**
