```
<VersioningConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
</VersioningConfiguration>
```

To enable versioning, you send a request to MinIO with a versioning configuration with Status set to `Enabled`.

```
<VersioningConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
  <Status>Enabled</Status>
</VersioningConfiguration>
```

### Interaction with extended Bucket Versioning configuration

When Bucket Versioning with excluded prefixes are configured objects matching these prefixes are excluded from being versioned and replicated.

```
<VersioningConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
        <Status>Enabled</Status>
        <ExcludeFolders>true</ExcludeFolders>

        <ExcludedPrefixes>
          <Prefix>app1-jobs/*/_temporary/</Prefix>

	enabledBucketVersioningConfig = []byte(`<VersioningConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/"><Status>Enabled</Status></VersioningConfiguration>`)
)

//go:generate msgp -file $GOFILE

// BucketMetadata contains bucket metadata.

	response, err := s.client.Do(request)
	c.Assert(err, nil)
	c.Assert(response.StatusCode, http.StatusOK)

	// enable versioning on the bucket.
	enableVersioningBody := []byte("<VersioningConfiguration><Status>Enabled</Status></VersioningConfiguration>")
	enableVersioningBucketRequest, err := newTestSignedRequest(http.MethodPut, getBucketVersioningConfigURL(s.endPoint, bucketName),

	orgDisks := append([]StorageAPI{}, disks...)

	// Enable versioning.
	globalBucketMetadataSys.Update(ctx, bucket, bucketVersioningConfig, []byte(`<VersioningConfiguration><Status>Enabled</Status></VersioningConfiguration>`))

	_, err = objLayer.PutObject(ctx, bucket, object, mustGetPutObjReader(t, bytes.NewReader(data), int64(len(data)), "", ""), ObjectOptions{
		Versioned: true,
	})
	if err != nil {

			return false, err
		}
		bucketExists = true
	}

	if globalSiteReplicationSys.isEnabled() {
		configData := []byte(`<VersioningConfiguration><Status>Enabled</Status><ExcludedPrefixes><Prefix>speedtest/*</Prefix></ExcludedPrefixes></VersioningConfiguration>`)
		if _, err = globalBucketMetadataSys.Update(ctx, bucketName, bucketVersioningConfig, configData); err != nil {
			return false, err
		}
	}

		if err != nil {
			t.Fatalf("%s : %s", instanceType, err)
		}
		meta.VersioningConfigXML = []byte(`<VersioningConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/"><Status>Suspended</Status></VersioningConfiguration>`)
		if err := meta.Save(context.Background(), obj); err != nil {
			t.Fatalf("%s : %s", instanceType, err)
		}
		globalBucketMetadataSys.Set(bucket, meta)
