2. [Distributed Deployment](#distributed-deployment)
3. [Cloud Scale Deployment](#cloud-scale-deployment)

## 1. Standalone Deployment

MinIO FIPS executables are available at <http://dl.min.io> - they are only published for `linux-amd64` architecture as binary files with the suffix `.fips`. We also publish corresponding container images to our official image repositories.

- Seal/Unmount one/some master keys. That will lock all SSE-S3 encrypted objects protected by these master keys. All these objects can not be decrypted as long as the key(s) are sealed.

#### 3.2.a Automatic removal of noncurrent versions keeping only most recent ones immediately (MinIO only extension)

This is available only on MinIO as an extension to the NewerNoncurrentVersions feature. The following rule makes it possible to remove older noncurrent versions

and configuration via a YAML configuration file. This YAML configuration describes everything that can be configured in a MinIO setup, such as '--address', '--console-address' and command line arguments for the MinIO server.

Historically everything to MinIO was provided via command arguments for the hostnames and the drives via an ellipses syntax such as `minio server http://host{1...4}/disk{1...4}` this requirement added an additional burden to have sequential hostnames for us to make sure...
