MinIO is a high performance distributed object storage server, designed for large-scale private cloud infrastructure. MinIO is designed in a cloud-native manner to scale sustainably in multi-tenant environments. Orchestration platforms like Kubernetes provide perfect cloud-native environment to deploy and scale MinIO.

## MinIO Deployment on Kubernetes

There are multiple options to deploy MinIO on Kubernetes:

1. [Standalone Deployment](#standalone-deployment)
2. [Distributed Deployment](#distributed-deployment)
3. [Cloud Scale Deployment](#cloud-scale-deployment)

## 1. Standalone Deployment

To host multiple tenants on a single machine, run one MinIO Server per tenant with a dedicated HTTPS port, configuration, and data directory.

MinIO is a cloud-native application designed to scale in a sustainable manner in multi-tenant environments. Orchestration platforms provide perfect launchpad for MinIO to scale. Below is the list of MinIO deployment documents for various orchestration platforms:

### Creating the Scale-out Backup Repository

- Under the Backup Infrastructure view, click on Scale-out Repositories and click the Add Scale-out Repository button on the ribbon.

- Follow the on screen wizard

stale_uploads_expiry            (duration)  set to expire stale multipart uploads older than this values (default: '24h')
stale_uploads_cleanup_interval  (duration)  set to change intervals when stale multipart uploads are expired (default: '6h')
