runs at a one minute frequency, each time scanning upto a sixteenth of the namespace. Object versions marked `PENDING` or `FAILED` are re-queued for replication.

Replication speed depends on the cluster load, number of objects in the object store as well as storage speed. In addition, any bandwidth limits set via `mc admin bucket remote add` could also contribute to replication speed. The number of workers used for replication defaults to 100. Based on network bandwidth and system load, the...

Lifecycle transition functionality provided in [bucket lifecycle guide](https://github.com/minio/minio/master/docs/bucket/lifecycle/README.md) allows tiering of content from MinIO object store to public clouds or other MinIO clusters.

Transition tiers can be added to MinIO using `mc admin tier add` command to associate a `gcs`, `s3` or `azure` bucket or prefix path on a bucket to the tier name.

- LegacyObjectType (preserves existing deployments and older xl.json format)
- DeleteMarker (a versionId to capture the DELETE sequences implemented primarily for AWS spec compatibility)
