## FAQ

> Why is this change needed?

Before, there were two separate mechanisms - S3 objects got encrypted using a KMS,
if present, and the IAM / configuration data got encrypted with the root credentials.
Now, MinIO encrypts IAM / configuration and S3 objects with a KMS, if present. This
change unified the key-management aspect within MinIO.

The unified KMS-based approach has several advantages:

## Healthcheck Probe

MinIO server has two healthcheck related un-authenticated endpoints, a liveness probe to indicate if server is responding, cluster probe to check if server can be taken down for maintenance.

- Liveness probe available at `/minio/health/live`
- Cluster probe available at `/minio/health/cluster`

```sh
brew install minio/stable/minio
minio server /data
```

> NOTE: If you previously installed minio using `brew install minio` then it is recommended that you reinstall minio from `minio/stable/minio` official repo instead.

```sh
brew uninstall minio
brew install minio/stable/minio
```

- This API behavior is limited for following **read** operations on files inside a zip archive:
  - `HeadObject`
  - `GetObject`
  - `ListObjectsV2`
- If the ZIP file directory isn't located within the last 100MB the file will not be parsed.

## List of Amazon S3 API's not supported on MinIO

We found the following APIs to be redundant or less useful outside of AWS S3. If you have a different view on any of the APIs we missed, please consider opening a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/minio/minio/issues) with relevant details on why MinIO must implement them.
