### Step 1: Ensure postgresql minimum requirements are met

MinIO requires PostgreSQL version 9.5 or above. MinIO uses the [`INSERT ON CONFLICT`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/sql-insert.html#SQL-ON-CONFLICT) (aka UPSERT) feature, introduced in version 9.5 and the [JSONB](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/datatype-json.html) data-type introduced in version 9.4.

### Step 2: Add PostgreSQL endpoint to MinIO

## Issue management

We use GitHub to track all of our bugs and feature requests. Each issue we track has a variety of metadata:

- **Epic**. An epic represents a feature area for Istio as a whole. Epics are fairly broad in scope and are basically product-level things.
Each issue is ultimately part of an epic.

```
KEY:
api  manage global HTTP API call specific features, such as throttling, authentication types, etc.

ARGS:
requests_max                    (number)    set the maximum number of concurrent requests (default: '0')

These can be set with `--set profile=<profile>`.
For example, the `demo` profile offers a preset configuration to try out Istio in a test environment, with additional features enabled and lowered resource requirements.

For consistency, the same profiles are used across each chart, even if they do not impact a given chart.

6.  For the mainline flavor, we test the libraries using OpenJDK 8, 11, and 17
    on Linux, with some additional testing on newer JDKs and on Windows. Some
    features, especially in `com.google.common.io`, may not work correctly in
    non-Linux environments. For the Android flavor, our unit tests also run on
    API level 21 (Lollipop).

## Container Installation

Use the following commands to run a standalone MinIO server as a container.

Standalone MinIO servers are best suited for early development and evaluation. Certain features such as versioning, object locking, and bucket replication
require distributed deploying MinIO with Erasure Coding. For extended development and production, deploy MinIO with Erasure Coding enabled - specifically,

These can be set with `--set profile=<profile>`.

## Installing

The new installer is intended to be modular and very explicit about what is installed. It has
far more steps than the Istio installer - but each step is smaller and focused on a specific
feature, and can be performed by different people/teams at different times.

It is strongly recommended that different namespaces are used, with different service accounts.
