### Idempotent versions on delete markers

E24HH4nNMcgY5taynaPfxu  replicate       minioadmin      1 minute ago
```

### List all 'replicate' batch jobs
```
mc batch list alias/ --type replicate
ID                      TYPE            USER            STARTED
E24HH4nNMcgY5taynaPfxu  replicate       minioadmin      1 minute ago
```

### Real-time 'status' for a batch job
```

While containers provide isolated application execution environment, orchestration platforms allow seamless scaling by helping replicate and manage containers. MinIO extends this by adding isolated storage environment for each tenant.

To disable replica metadata modification syncing, use `mc replicate edit` with the --replicate flag.

```
mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker"
```

To re-enable replica metadata modification syncing,

```
mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker,replica-metadata-sync"

export MC_HOST_minio3=https://adminuser:******@****.***
```

- Add site replication configuration with:

```sh
mc admin replicate add minio1 minio2 minio3
```

- Once the above command returns success, you may query site replication configuration with:

```sh
mc admin replicate info minio1
```

** Note **

## Contents properties

All properties except the file size are tied to the zip file. This means that modification date, headers, tags, etc. can only be set for the zip file as a whole. In similar fashion, replication will replicate the zip file as a whole and not individual files.

## Code Examples

[Using minio-go library](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/extensions/s3zip/examples/minio-go/main.go)

* There are 4 minio distributed instances created by default. You can add more MinIO services (up to total 16) to your MinIO Compose deployment. To add a service
  * Replicate a service definition and change the name of the new service appropriately.
  * Update the command section in each service.
  * Add a new MinIO server instance to the upstream directive in the Nginx configuration file.
