## 4. Enable ILM transition feature

MinIO is built ground up on the cloud-native premise. With features like erasure-coding, distributed and shared setup, it focuses only on storage and does it very well. While, it can be scaled by just replicating MinIO instances per tenant via an orchestration platform.

# MinIO Batch Job
MinIO Batch jobs is an MinIO object management feature that lets you manage objects at scale. Jobs currently supported by MinIO

- Replicate objects between buckets on multiple sites

Upcoming Jobs

- Copy objects from NAS to MinIO
- Copy objects from HDFS to MinIO

## Replication Job
To perform replication via batch jobs, you create a job. The job consists of a job description YAML that describes

```
KEY:
api  manage global HTTP API call specific features, such as throttling, authentication types, etc.

ARGS:
requests_max                    (number)    set the maximum number of concurrent requests (default: '0')

| IMPORTANT |
| -------------------------- |

- Changes to Bucket features such as:
  - Bucket Policies
  - Bucket Tags
  - Bucket Object-Lock configurations (including retention and legal hold configuration)
  - Bucket Encryption configuration

> NOTE: Bucket versioning is automatically enabled for all new and existing buckets on all replicated sites.

The following Bucket features will **not be replicated**, is designed to differ between sites:

- On versioned buckets, FTP/SFTP only operates on latest objects, if you need to retrieve
  an older version you must use an `S3 API client` such as [`mc`](https://github.com/minio/mc).

- All features currently used by your buckets will work as is without any changes
  - SSE (Server Side Encryption)
  - Replication (Server Side Replication)

## Prerequisites

> NOTE: Server side replication is supported for idempotent versions on delete marked objects.

### Motivation

# Federation Quickstart Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io) *Federation feature is deprecated and should be avoided for future deployments*

This document explains how to configure MinIO with `Bucket lookup from DNS` style federation.

## Get started

### 1. Prerequisites

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

### 2. Run MinIO in federated mode

### Step 1: Ensure postgresql minimum requirements are met

MinIO requires PostgreSQL version 9.5 or above. MinIO uses the [`INSERT ON CONFLICT`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/sql-insert.html#SQL-ON-CONFLICT) (aka UPSERT) feature, introduced in version 9.5 and the [JSONB](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/datatype-json.html) data-type introduced in version 9.4.

### Step 2: Add PostgreSQL endpoint to MinIO
