#### Secret Keys

The MinIO server uses an unique, randomly generated secret key per object also known as, Object Encryption Key ([OEK](#oek)). Neither the client-provided SSE-C key nor the KMS-managed key is directly used to en/decrypt an object. Instead, the OEK is stored as part of the object metadata next to the object in an encrypted form. To en/decrypt the OEK another secret key is needed also known as, Key Encryption Key ([KEK](#kek)).

### 3.1 Automatic removal of non current objects versions

A non-current object version is a version which is not the latest for a given object. It is possible to set up an automatic removal of non-current versions when a version becomes older than a given number of days.

In a typical modern infrastructure deployment, application, database, key-store, etc. already live in containers and are managed by orchestration platforms. MinIO brings robust, scalable, AWS S3 compatible object storage to the lot.

# 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

```
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
	{
	  "Action": ["s3:ListBucket"],
	  "Effect": "Allow",
	  "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::mybucket"],

```

## MinIO extension to Bucket Versioning

### Idempotent versions on directory objects

### Add MinIO as an object store for Veeam

Follow the steps from the Veeam documentation for adding MinIO as an object store - <https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/adding_s3c_object_storage.html?ver=100>

For Veeam Backup with Immutability, choose the amount of days you want to make backups immutable for

When the _namespace_ format is used, MinIO synchronizes objects in the bucket with rows in the table. It creates rows with two columns: key and value. The key is the bucket and object name of an object that exists in MinIO. The value is JSON encoded event data about the operation that created/replaced the object in MinIO. When objects are updated or deleted, the corresponding row from this table is updated or deleted respectively.

### Set object lock

PutObject API allows setting per object retention mode and retention duration using `x-amz-object-lock-mode` and `x-amz-object-lock-retain-until-date` headers. This takes precedence over any bucket object lock configuration w.r.t retention.

```sh
aws s3api put-object --bucket testbucket --key lockme --object-lock-mode GOVERNANCE --object-lock-retain-until-date "2019-11-20"  --body /etc/issue
```

```

### Existing object replication

Existing object replication as detailed [here](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/replicating-existing-objects-between-s3-buckets/) can be enabled by passing `existing-objects` as a value to `--replicate` flag while adding or editing a replication rule.
