A **Manager** is used to manage all incoming and outgoing connections to a server.

On startup all remote servers must be specified. 
From that individual connections will be spawned to each remote server, 
or incoming requests will be hooked up to the appropriate connection.

To get a connection to a specific server, use `Manager.Connection(host)` to get a connection to the specified host.
From this connection individual requests can be made.

```

> NOTE: A zero value of `requests_max` means MinIO will automatically calculate requests based on available RAM size and that is the default behavior.

### Configuring connection (wait) deadline

This value works in conjunction with max connection setting, setting this value allows for long waiting requests to quickly time out when there is no slot available to perform the request.

Now, the STS certificate-based authentication happens in 4 steps:

- Client sends HTTP `POST` request over a TLS connection hitting the MinIO TLS STS API.
- MinIO verifies that the client certificate is valid.
- MinIO tries to find a policy that matches the `CN` of the client certificate.

[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io) is a cloud-native monitoring platform. Prometheus offers a multi-dimensional data model with time series data identified by metric name and key/value pairs. The data collection happens via a pull model over HTTP/HTTPS. Users looking to monitor their MinIO instances can point Prometheus configuration to scrape data from following endpoints.
