# Using MinIO with Veeam

When using Veeam Backup and Replication, you can use S3 compatible object storage such as MinIO as a capacity tier for backups.  This disaggregates storage for the Veeam infrastructure and allows you to retain control of your data. With the ease of use of setup and administration of MinIO, it allows a Veeam backup admin to easily deploy their own object store for capacity tiering.

## Prerequisites

in one bucket. For example, you could store `spark.csv` (version `ede336f2`) and `spark.csv` (version `fae684da`) in a single bucket. Versioning protects you from unintended overwrites, deletions, protect objects with retention policies.

To control data retention and storage usage, use object versioning with [object lifecycle management](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/bucket/lifecycle/README.md).  If you have an object expiration lifecycle policy in your non-versioned bucket...

### Install Control plane

This can run in any cluster. A mesh should have at least one cluster should run Pilot or equivalent XDS server,
and it is recommended to have Pilot running in each region and in multiple availability zones for multi cluster.

```bash
iop istio-control istio-discovery $IBASE/istio-control/istio-discovery \
            --set global.istioNamespace=istio-system

three main components:

- [MeshConfig](https://github.com/istio/api/blob/master/mesh/v1alpha1/config.proto) for runtime config consumed directly by Istio
control plane components.
- [Component configuration API](https://github.com/istio/api/blob/00671adacbea20f941cb20cce021bc63cbad1840/operator/v1alpha1/operator.proto#L42-L93), for managing

    subject to change. They can be modified in any way, or even removed, at any
    time. If your code is a library itself (i.e., it is used on the CLASSPATH of
    users outside your own control), you should not use beta APIs unless you
    [repackage] them. **If your code is a library, we strongly recommend using
    the [Guava Beta Checker] to ensure that you do not use any `@Beta` APIs!**

## **2. Prerequisites**

microservices](https://istio.io/latest/docs/examples/microservices-istio/), manage [traffic flow](https://istio.io/latest/docs/concepts/traffic-management/) across microservices, enforce policies
and aggregate telemetry data. Istio's control plane provides an abstraction
layer over the underlying cluster management platform, such as Kubernetes.

Istio is composed of these components:

- **Envoy** - Sidecar proxies per microservice to handle ingress/egress traffic

Prometheus sets the `Host` header to `domain:port` as part of HTTP operations against the MinIO metrics endpoint. For MinIO deployments behind a load balancer, reverse proxy, or other control plane (HAProxy, nginx, pfsense, opnsense, etc.), ensure the network service supports routing these requests to the deployment.

### 6. Configure Grafana

```yaml
meshConfig:
  accessLogFile: /dev/stdout
```

#### Revisions

Control plane revisions allow deploying multiple versions of the control plane in the same cluster.
This allows safe [canary upgrades](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/upgrade/canary/)

```yaml
revision: my-revision-name
