for existing object replication are detected when scanner runs, and will be replicated if existing object replication is enabled and applicable replication rules are satisfied. Because replication depends on the immutability of versions, only pre-existing objects created while versioning was enabled can be replicated. Even if replication rules are disabled and re-enabled later, the objects created during the interim will be synced as the scanner queues them. For saving iops, objects qualifying for...

## Implementation

ILM tiering takes place when a object placed in the bucket meets lifecycle transition rules and becomes eligible for tiering. MinIO scanner (which runs at one minute intervals, each time scanning one sixteenth of the namespace), picks up the object for tiering. The data is moved to the remote tier in entirety, leaving only the object metadata on MinIO.
