### Step 1: Ensure Elasticsearch minimum requirements are met

MinIO requires a 5.x series version of Elasticsearch. This is the latest major release series. Elasticsearch provides version upgrade migration guidelines [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-upgrade.html).

### Step 2: Add Elasticsearch endpoint to MinIO

- Create a new bucket for VBO backups

```
mc mb -l myminio/vbo
```

- Under Backup Infrastructure, right click on Object Storage Repositories and choose "Add object storage"

![Adding Object Storage to VBO Step 1](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/integrations/veeam/screenshots/1_add_object_store.png)

- Follow through the wizard as above for Veeam Backup and Replication as the steps are the same between both products

be used to select a different 'environment'.

## Installing

The new installer is intended to be modular and very explicit about what is installed. It has
far more steps than the Istio installer - but each step is smaller and focused on a specific
feature, and can be performed by different people/teams at different times.

It is strongly recommended that different namespaces are used, with different service accounts.

### Setup MinIO with Identity Provider

Make sure we have followed the previous step and configured each software independently, once done we can now proceed to use MinIO STS API and MinIO server to use these credentials to perform object API operations.

#### KeyCloak

```
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=minio

kubectl create ns $LEADER_ELECTION_NAMESPACE --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
```

1. From the istio repo root directory, run `go run ./operator/cmd/operator/*.go server`

To use Remote debugging with IntelliJ, replace above step 2 with following:

1. From `./operator/cmd/operator` path run
`
dlv debug --headless --listen=:2345 --api-version=2 -- server
`.

1. In IntelliJ, create a new Go Remote debug configuration with default settings.

default, if --replicate flag is not specified, replication of delete marker, permanent deletes, existing object replication and replica modification sync are all enabled. If you are using older mc versions, the ARN needs to be generated as a separate step before adding a replication rule.

> NOTE: If you are using a mc version below `RELEASE.2022-12-24T15-21-38Z`, the --remote-bucket flag needs an ARN generated by `mc admin bucket remote add` command. For  mc versions RELEASE.2021-09-02T09-21-27Z...

          - key: private.key
            path: private.key
          - key: public.crt
            path: CAs/public.crt
```

Note that the `secretName` should be same as the secret name created in previous step. Then add the below section under
`spec.containers[].volumeMounts[]`

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

### 1. Fetch the root identity

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' \

1. Click **Management**.
1. Click **Index Patterns**.
1. Click **Create index pattern** button
1. Input "fess\_log\*" to the textbox of **index pattern**.
1. Click **Next step**.
1. Set "requestedAt" to the **Time Filter field name**.
1. Click **Create index pattern**.
1. Click **Saved Objects**.
1. Click **Import** and select "fess\_log.ndjson" to import example settings.
1. Click **Dashboard**.

### Set metadata

In below example `minio-go` is used to set the storage class to `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY`. This means this object will be split across 6 data drives and 2 parity drives (as per the storage class set in previous step).

```go
s3Client, err := minio.New("localhost:9000", "YOUR-ACCESSKEYID", "YOUR-SECRETACCESSKEY", true)
if err != nil {
 log.Fatalln(err)
}

object, err := os.Open("my-testfile")
if err != nil {
