### 2. Configure authentication type for Prometheus metrics

MinIO supports two authentication modes for Prometheus either `jwt` or `public`, by default MinIO runs in `jwt` mode. To allow public access without authentication for prometheus metrics set environment as follows.

```
export MINIO_PROMETHEUS_AUTH_TYPE="public"

apps may target different 'environments' which contain different instances and variants of Istio.

- Better security: separate Istio components reside in different namespaces, allowing different teams or
roles to manage different parts of Istio. For example, a security team would maintain the
root CA and policy, a telemetry team may only have access to Prometheus,

### Consistency Guarantees

MinIO follows strict **read-after-write** and **list-after-write** consistency model for all i/o operations both in distributed and standalone modes. This consistency model is only guaranteed if you use disk filesystems such as xfs, zfs or btrfs etc.. for distributed setup.
