- Supports object locking/retention across source and destination buckets natively out of the box, unlike AWS S3.
- Simpler implementation than [AWS S3 Bucket Replication Config](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/replication-add-config.html) with requirements such as IAM Role, AccessControlTranslation, Metrics and SourceSelectionCriteria are not needed with MinIO.

A non-current object version is a version which is not the latest for a given object. It is possible to set up an automatic removal of non-current versions when a version becomes older than a given number of days.

e.g., To scan objects stored under `user-uploads/` prefix and remove versions older than one year.

```
{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "ID": "Removing all old versions",
            "Filter": {

  # optional flags based filtering criteria
  # for all source objects
  flags:
	filter:
	  newerThan: "7d" # match objects newer than this value (e.g. 7d10h31s)
	  olderThan: "7d" # match objects older than this value (e.g. 7d10h31s)
	  createdAfter: "date" # match objects created after "date"
	  createdBefore: "date" # match objects created before "date"

compute environment. A cloud-native application is portable and resilient by design, and can scale horizontally by simply replicating. Modern orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, DC/OS make replicating and managing containers in huge clusters easier than ever.

While containers provide isolated application execution environment, orchestration platforms allow seamless scaling by helping replicate and manage containers. MinIO extends this by adding isolated storage environment for each tenant....

## Publish MinIO events via Webhooks

[Webhooks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook) are a way to receive information when it happens, rather than continually polling for that data.

### Step 1: Add Webhook endpoint to MinIO

The handler function has this signature.

Sample handler:
```go
    handler :=  func(ctx context.Context, payload []byte, in <-chan []byte, out chan<- []byte) *RemoteErr {
        fmt.Println("Got request with initial payload", p, "from", GetCaller(ctx context.Context))
        fmt.Println("Subroute:", GetSubroute(ctx))
        for {
            select {

transition_workers              (number)    set the number of transition workers (default: '100')
stale_uploads_expiry            (duration)  set to expire stale multipart uploads older than this values (default: '24h')
stale_uploads_cleanup_interval  (duration)  set to change intervals when stale multipart uploads are expired (default: '6h')

## Overview

MinIO implements an S3 extension to list, stat and download files inside a ZIP file stored in any bucket. A perfect use case scenario is when you have a lot of small files archived in multiple ZIP files. Uploading them is faster than uploading small files individually. Besides, your S3 applications will be able to access to the data with little performance overhead.

- **Each object is written to a single EC set, and therefore is spread over no more than 16 drives.**
- **All the nodes running distributed MinIO setup are recommended to be homogeneous, i.e. same operating system, same number of drives and same network interconnects.**

`STANDARD` storage class implies more parity than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` class. So, `STANDARD` parity drives should be

- Greater than or equal to 2, if `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity is not set.
- Greater than `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` parity, if it is set.

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)
