> NOTE: if *path_prefix* is set then MinIO will not federate your buckets, namespaced IAM assets are assumed as isolated tenants, only buckets are considered globally unique but performing a lookup with a *bucket* which belongs to a different tenant will fail unlike federated setups where MinIO would port-forward and route the request to relevant cluster accordingly. This is a special feature, federated deployments...

### List of metrics reported Cluster and Bucket level

[The list of metrics reported can be here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/list.md)

### Configure Alerts for Prometheus

## Introduction

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' \
     -O 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/kes/master/root.cert'
```

### 2. Set the MinIO-KES configuration

```sh
export MINIO_KMS_KES_ENDPOINT=https://play.min.io:7373
export MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_FILE=root.key

## Creating a hotfix branch

Customers in MinIO are allowed LTS on any release they choose to standardize. Production setups seldom change and require maintenance. Hotfix branches are such maintenance branches that allow customers to operate a production cluster without drastic changes to their deployment.

## Backporting a fix

For testing purposes, here is [how to create self-signed certificates](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/tls#3-generate-self-signed-certificates).

## 2. Create Kubernetes secret

[Kubernetes secrets](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret) are intended to hold sensitive information.

employing DNS round-robin on a single domain to all the MinIO servers, it is possible that after redirection the browser may land on a different MinIO server. For example, the domain `console.minio.example.org` may resolve to `console-X.minio.example.org`, where `X` is `1`, `2`, `3` or `4`. For the login to work, if the user first landed on `console-1.minio.example.org`, they must be redirected back to the same place after logging in at the OpenID provider's web-page. To ensure this, set the `MINIO_IDENT...

Example: Limit a MinIO cluster to accept at max 1600 simultaneous S3 API requests across all nodes of the cluster.

```sh
export MINIO_API_REQUESTS_MAX=1600
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=your-access-key

![quota](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/minio/minio/master/docs/bucket/quota/bucketquota.png)

Buckets can be configured to have `Hard` quota - it disallows writes to the bucket after configured quota limit is reached.

## Prerequisites

- Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#procedure).
