If one or more drives are offline at the start of a PutObject or NewMultipartUpload operation the object will have additional data protection bits added automatically to provide additional safety for these objects.

*A noticeable trait of this expansion is that it chooses unique hosts such the setup provides maximum protection and availability.*

- Choosing an erasure set for the object is decided during `PutObject()`, object names are used to find the right erasure set using the following pseudo code.

```go
// hashes the key returning an integer.

### Install Control plane

This can run in any cluster. A mesh should have at least one cluster should run Pilot or equivalent XDS server,
and it is recommended to have Pilot running in each region and in multiple availability zones for multi cluster.

```bash
iop istio-control istio-discovery $IBASE/istio-control/istio-discovery \
            --set global.istioNamespace=istio-system

The MinIO TLS STS API can be configured via MinIO's standard configuration API (i.e. using `mc admin config set/get`). Further, it can be configured via the following environment variables:
