# MinIO Server Limits Per Tenant

For optimal production setup MinIO recommends Linux kernel version 4.x and later.

## Erasure Code (Multiple Drives / Servers)

MinIO object storage is via S3/SQL SELECT API. In addition to the compute nodes, MinIO containers are also managed by Kubernetes as stateful containers with local storage (JBOD/JBOF) mapped as persistent local volumes. This architecture enables multi-tenant MinIO, allowing isolation of data between customers.

MinIO also supports multi-cluster, multi-site federation similar to AWS regions and tiers. Using MinIO Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), you can configure data to be tiered between...

	}
	return sys.collectPeerMetrics(ctx, peerChannels, g)
}

// ServiceFreeze freezes all S3 API calls when 'freeze' is true,
// 'freeze' is 'false' would resume all S3 API calls again.
// NOTE: once a tenant is frozen either two things needs to
// happen before resuming normal operations.
//   - Server needs to be restarted 'mc admin service restart'
//   - 'freeze' should be set to 'false' for this call

- On Operator based MinIO deployments, you need to modify the `tenant.yaml` specification and modify the `pools:` section from two entries to a single entry. After making relevant changes, proceed to execute `kubectl apply -f tenant.yaml`.

> Without a 'Complete' status any 'Active' or 'Draining' pool(s) are not allowed to be removed once configured.

## NOTE

Install MinIO on Kubernetes:

Install Distributed MinIO on Linux:

MinIO is built ground up on the cloud-native premise. With features like erasure-coding, distributed and shared setup, it focuses only on storage and does it very well. While, it can be scaled by just replicating MinIO instances per tenant via an orchestration platform.
