### Things to consider

```

Here we see that MinIO performed `HSET` on `minio_events` key.

In case, `access` format was used, then `minio_events` would be a list, and the MinIO server would have performed an `RPUSH` to append to the list. A consumer of this list would ideally use `BLPOP` to remove list items from the left-end of the list.

## Publish MinIO events via NATS

Install NATS from [here](http://nats.io/).

### Step 1: Add NATS endpoint to MinIO

P0, P1, P2, or >P2. The priority indicates how important it is to address the issue within the milestone. P0 says that the
milestone cannot be considered achieved if the issue isn't resolved.

> 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...

OkHttp Server-Sent Events

- `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable should be defined and exported for bucket DNS style support.
- Running Distributed MinIO on **Windows** operating system is considered **experimental**. Please proceed with caution.

Example 1: Start distributed MinIO instance on n nodes with m drives each mounted at `/export1` to `/exportm` (pictured below), by running this command on all the n nodes:
