MinIO also supports multi-cluster, multi-site federation similar to AWS regions and tiers. Using MinIO Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), you can configure data to be tiered between NVMe based hot storage, and HDD based warm storage. All data is encrypted with per-object key. Access Control and Identity Management between the tenants are managed by MinIO using OpenID Connect or Kerberos/LDAP/AD.

## **2. Prerequisites**

## TODO

- Richer progress UI is not present at the moment, this will be addressed in subsequent releases. Currently however a RATE of data transfer and usage increase is displayed via `mc`.
- Transitioned Hot Tier's as pooled setups are not currently supported, attempting to decommission buckets with ILM Transition will be rejected by the server. This will be supported in future releases.

	if err == nil {
		// Skip adding free version since we successfully deleted the
		// remote object
		opts.SkipFreeVersion = true
	} else {
		transitionLogIf(ctx, err)
	}

	// Now, delete object from hot-tier namespace
	if _, err := objectAPI.DeleteObject(ctx, oi.Bucket, oi.Name, opts); err != nil {
		return err
	}

	// Send audit for the lifecycle delete operation
