In the examples below, by default this is the `istio-control` namespace. Pod annotations can also
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.

MinIO protects data against hardware failures and silent data corruption using erasure code and checksums. With the highest level of redundancy, you may lose up to half (N/2) of the total drives and still be able to recover the data.

## What is Erasure Code?

ensure that you do not use any `@Beta` APIs!**

## Introduction

[Istio](https://istio.io/latest/docs/concepts/what-is-istio/) is an open platform for providing a uniform way to [integrate

## Prerequisites

- It is assumed you have users created and configured with relevant access policies, to start with
  use basic "readwrite" canned policy to test all the operations before you finalize on what level
  of restrictions are needed for a user.

- No "admin:*" operations are needed for FTP/SFTP access to the bucket(s) and object(s), so you may
  skip them for restrictions.

## Usage

### Data protection

Executing `xl-meta` will look for an `xl.meta` in the current folder and decode it to JSON. It is also possible to specify multiple files or wildcards, for example `xl-meta ./**/xl.meta` will output decoded metadata recursively. It is possible to view what inline data is stored inline in the metadata using `--data` parameter `xl-meta -data xl.json` will display an id -> data size. To export inline data to a file use the `--export` option.
