## 1. Standalone Deployment

To host multiple tenants on a single machine, run one MinIO Server per tenant with a dedicated HTTPS port, configuration, and data directory.

### 1.1 Host Multiple Tenants on a Single Drive

Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on a single drive:

```sh
minio server --address :9001 /data/tenant1
minio server --address :9002 /data/tenant2
minio server --address :9003 /data/tenant3
```

MinIO is built ground up on the cloud-native premise. With features like erasure-coding, distributed and shared setup, it focuses only on storage and does it very well. While, it can be scaled by just replicating MinIO instances per tenant via an orchestration platform.

tenant isolation, resource allocation, model sharing and hardware attacks.

### Tenant isolation

Since any tenants or users providing models, graphs or checkpoints can execute
code in context of the TensorFlow service, it is important to design isolation
mechanisms that prevent unwanted access to the data from other tenants.

MinIO is a high performance distributed object storage server, designed for large-scale private cloud infrastructure. MinIO is designed in a cloud-native manner to scale sustainably in multi-tenant environments. Orchestration platforms like Kubernetes provide perfect cloud-native environment to deploy and scale MinIO.

## MinIO Deployment on Kubernetes

There are multiple options to deploy MinIO on Kubernetes:

- On Operator based MinIO deployments, you need to modify the `tenant.yaml` specification and modify the `pools:` section from two entries to a single entry. After making relevant changes, proceed to execute `kubectl apply -f tenant.yaml`.

> Without a 'Complete' status any 'Active' or 'Draining' pool(s) are not allowed to be removed once configured.

# MinIO Server Limits Per Tenant

For optimal production setup MinIO recommends Linux kernel version 4.x and later.

> NOTE: if *path_prefix* is set then MinIO will not federate your buckets, namespaced IAM assets are assumed as isolated tenants, only buckets are considered globally unique but performing a lookup with a *bucket* which belongs to a different tenant will fail unlike federated setups where MinIO would port-forward and route the request to relevant cluster accordingly. This is a special feature, federated deployments should not need to...

MinIO object storage is via S3/SQL SELECT API. In addition to the compute nodes, MinIO containers are also managed by Kubernetes as stateful containers with local storage (JBOD/JBOF) mapped as persistent local volumes. This architecture enables multi-tenant MinIO, allowing isolation of data between customers.

MinIO also supports multi-cluster, multi-site federation similar to AWS regions and tiers. Using MinIO Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), you can configure data to be tiered between...
