# How to secure access to MinIO on Kubernetes with TLS [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

This document explains how to configure MinIO server with TLS certificates on Kubernetes.

## 1. Prerequisites

- Familiarity with [MinIO deployment process on Kubernetes](https://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/deployments/kubernetes.html).

- Kubernetes cluster with `kubectl` configured.

   the issue and determines the impact it has.
2. A member of the security team will respond and either confirm or reject the security report.
   If the report is rejected the response explains why.
3. Code is audited to find any potential similar problems.
4. Fixes are prepared for the latest release.
5. On the date that the fixes are applied a security advisory will be published on <https://blog.min.io>.

## Reviewing PRs

Reviewers ensure MinIO’s commit history remains a clear, reliable record. Responsibilities include:

1. **Commit Quality**:
   - Verify each commit explains *why* the change was made (e.g., “So that…”).
   - Request rebasing if commits are unclear, redundant, or lack context (e.g., “Please squash typo fixes into the parent commit”).

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

This document explains how to configure MinIO server to log to different logging targets.

## Log Targets

MinIO supports currently two target types

- console

### Logging Console Target

Console target is on always and cannot be disabled.

### Logging HTTP Target

- MinIO exports Prometheus compatible data by default which is bucket centric as an authorized endpoint at `/minio/v2/metrics/bucket`.

This document explains how to setup Prometheus and configure it to scrape data from MinIO servers.

## Prerequisites

In OkHttp we expose a blocking API over a framed protocol. This document explains the code and policy that makes that work.
