**NOTE:**

- All the nodes running distributed MinIO should share a common root credentials, for the nodes to connect and trust each other. To achieve this, it is **recommended** to export root user and root password as environment variables, `MINIO_ROOT_USER` and `MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD`, on all the nodes before executing MinIO server command. If not exported, default `minioadmin/minioadmin` credentials shall be used.

# Witness Protocol Feature - Detailed Design Document

## 1. Overview

The SMB Witness Protocol enables rapid notification of resource changes in a clustered file server environment. It provides fast failover capabilities by allowing clients to register for notifications about server node availability, share movement, and other critical cluster events.

## What is a Container Image { #what-is-a-container-image }

A **container** is run from a **container image**.

A container image is a **static** version of all the files, environment variables, and the default command/program that should be present in a container. **Static** here means that the container **image** is not running, it's not being executed, it's only the packaged files and metadata.
