### Things to know

- Fields such as `version` and `pools` are mandatory, however all other fields are optional.
- Each pool expects a minimum of 2 nodes per pool, and unique non-repeating hosts for each argument.
- Each pool expects each host in this pool has the same number of drives specified as any other host.

## How to enable Fan-Out Uploads ?

Fan-Out uploads are automatically enabled if `x-minio-fanout-list` form-field is provided with the PostUpload API, to keep things simple higher level APIs are provided in our SDKs for example in `minio-go` SDK:

```

alias/ heal max_sleep=1s` and maximum concurrent requests allowed before we start slowing things down can be configured with `mc admin config set alias/ heal max_io=30` . By default the wait delay is `250ms` beyond 100 concurrent operations. This means the healer will sleep *250 milliseconds* at max for each heal operation if there are more than *100* concurrent client requests.

In most setups this is sufficient to heal the content after drive replacements. Setting `max_sleep` to a *lower*...

## Description of `xl.meta`

`xl.meta` is a new self describing backend format used by MinIO to support AWS S3 compatible versioning.
This file is the source of truth for each `version` at rest. `xl.meta` is a msgpack file serialized from a
well defined data structure. To understand `xl.meta` here are the few things to start with

`xl.meta` carries first 8 bytes an XL header which describes the current format and the format version,

## MinIO Docker Tips

### MinIO Custom Access and Secret Keys

To override MinIO's auto-generated keys, you may pass secret and access keys explicitly as environment variables. MinIO server also allows regular strings as access and secret keys.

#### GNU/Linux and macOS (custom access and secret keys)

```sh
docker run \
  -p 9000:9000 \
  -p 9001:9001 \
  --name minio1 \
  -e "MINIO_ROOT_USER=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE" \

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.

### Server-Side Encryption with client-provided Keys

> NOTE: MinIO runs console on random port by default, if you wish to choose a specific port use `--console-address` to pick a specific interface and port.
