Following are advantages for using temporary credentials:

- Eliminates the need to embed long-term credentials with an application.
- Eliminates the need to provide access to buckets and objects without having to define static credentials.

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 NVMe based hot storage, and HDD based warm storage. All data is encrypted with per-object key. Access Control and Identity Management between the tenants are managed by MinIO using OpenID Connect or Kerberos/LDAP/AD.

# MinIO Monitoring Guide

MinIO server exposes monitoring data over endpoints. Monitoring tools can pick the data from these endpoints. This document lists the monitoring endpoints and relevant documentation.

## Healthcheck Probe

MinIO server has two healthcheck related un-authenticated endpoints, a liveness probe to indicate if server is responding, cluster probe to check if server can be taken down for maintenance.

This guide explains how to configure MinIO Server with TLS certificates on Linux and Windows platforms.

1. [Install MinIO Server](#install-minio-server)
2. [Use an Existing Key and Certificate with MinIO](#use-an-existing-key-and-certificate-with-minio)
3. [Generate and use Self-signed Keys and Certificates with MinIO](#generate-use-self-signed-keys-certificates)

### GNU/Linux and macOS

```sh
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=<ACCESS_KEY>
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=<SECRET_KEY>
minio server http://host{1...n}/export{1...m}
```

> **NOTE:** In above example `n` and `m` represent positive integers, _do not copy paste and expect it work make the changes according to local deployment and setup_.

MinIO uses [`klauspost/compress/s2`](https://github.com/klauspost/compress/tree/master/s2)
streaming compression due to its stability and performance.

This algorithm is specifically optimized for machine generated content.
Write throughput is typically at least 500MB/s per CPU core,
and scales with the number of available CPU cores.
Decompression speed is typically at least 1GB/s.

Docker Compose allows defining and running single host, multi-container Docker applications.

With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure MinIO services. Then, using a single command, you can create and launch all the Distributed MinIO instances from your configuration. Distributed MinIO instances will be deployed in multiple containers on the same host. This is a great way to set up development, testing, and staging environments, based on Distributed MinIO.

- A maximum of 100M inside a single zip is allowed. However, a reasonable limit of 100,000 files inside a single ZIP archive is recommended for best performance and memory usage trade-off.

## Content-Type

- UTF-8 is the only encoding type the Select API supports.
- GZIP or BZIP2 - CSV and JSON files can be compressed using GZIP, BZIP2, [ZSTD](https://facebook.github.io/zstd/), and streaming formats of [LZ4](https://lz4.github.io/lz4/), [S2](https://github.com/klauspost/compress/tree/master/s2#s2-compression) and [SNAPPY](http://google.github.io/snappy/).

Example:

```sh
minio server /data
```

Default trace is succinct only to indicate the API operations being called and the HTTP response status.

```sh
mc admin trace myminio
```

To trace entire HTTP request

```sh
mc admin trace --verbose myminio
```

To trace entire HTTP request and also internode communication

```sh
mc admin trace --all --verbose myminio
```
