# KMS Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

MinIO uses a key-management-system (KMS) to support SSE-S3. If a client requests SSE-S3, or auto-encryption is enabled, the MinIO server encrypts each object with an unique object key which is protected by a master key managed by the KMS.

## Quick Start

```

##### Node (optional)

Optionally you can also collect per node metrics. This needs to be done on a per server instance.
The scrape configurations should use all the servers under `targets` so that graphing systems like
grafana can visualize them for all the nodes

```yaml
scrape_configs:
- job_name: minio-job
  metrics_path: /minio/v2/metrics/node
  scheme: http
  static_configs:

```
ftp localhost -P 8021
Connected to localhost.
220 Welcome to MinIO FTP Server
Name (localhost:user): minioadmin
331 User name ok, password required
Password:
230 Password ok, continue
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls runner/
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||39155|)
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list

```sh
minio.exe server D:\
```

## Publish MinIO events via AMQP

Install RabbitMQ from [here](https://www.rabbitmq.com/).

### Step 1: Add AMQP endpoint to MinIO

The AMQP configuration is located under the sub-system `notify_amqp` top-level key. Create a configuration key-value pair here for your AMQP instance. The key is a name for your AMQP endpoint, and the value is a collection of key-value parameters described in the table below.

## Why distributed MinIO?

MinIO in distributed mode can help you setup a highly-available storage system with a single object storage deployment. With distributed MinIO, you can optimally use storage devices, irrespective of their location in a network.

### Data protection

Decompression speed is typically at least 1GB/s.

This means that in cases where raw IO is below these numbers
compression will not only reduce disk usage but also help increase system throughput.
Typically, enabling compression on spinning disk systems
will increase speed when the content can be compressed.
