### Step 1: Ensure Elasticsearch minimum requirements are met

MinIO requires a 5.x series version of Elasticsearch. This is the latest major release series. Elasticsearch provides version upgrade migration guidelines [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setup-upgrade.html).

### Step 2: Add Elasticsearch endpoint to MinIO
