To summarize for any encrypted object there exists (at least) three different keys:

- [OEK](#oek): A secret and unique key used to encrypted the object, stored in an encrypted form as part of the object metadata and only loaded to RAM in plaintext during en/decrypting the object.

## Configuration Directory

- All versions, including delete-markers should be deleted before deleting a bucket.
- **Versioning feature is only available in erasure coded and distributed erasure coded setups**.

## How to configure versioning on a bucket

Each bucket created has a versioning configuration associated with it. By default bucket is unversioned as shown below

```

![Erasure](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/screenshots/erasure-code.jpg?raw=true)

   ```
      load("@python//3.11:defs.bzl",
           compile_pip_requirements_3_11 = "compile_pip_requirements")
   ```

   Add a new entry for the loaded `compile_pip_requirements`, e.g.

   ```
      compile_pip_requirements_3_11(
          name = "requirements_3_11",
          extra_args = ["--allow-unsafe"],
          requirements_in = "requirements.in",

NOTE:

- `timeToFirstByte` and `timeToResponse` will be expressed in Nanoseconds.
- Additionally in the case of the erasure coded setup `tags.objectErasureMap` provides per object details about
  - Pool number the object operation was performed on.
  - Set number the object operation was performed on.

### Expanding existing distributed setup

MinIO supports expanding distributed erasure coded clusters by specifying new set of clusters on the command-line as shown below:

```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=<ACCESS_KEY>
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=<SECRET_KEY>

mc: Health data saved to dc-11-health_20200321053323.json.gz
```

The gzipped output contains debugging information for your system

## Decoding Metadata

Metadata is stored in `xl.meta` files for erasure coded objects. Each disk in the set containing the object has this file. The file format is a binary format and therefore requires tools to view values.
