set the env. variable `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY` and start/restart the MinIO server. For more details about KES and how
to set it up refer to our [KMS Guide](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/kms/README.md).

Instead of configuring an external KMS you can start with a single key by
setting the env. variable `MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY`. It expects the following
format:

```sh
MINIO_KMS_SECRET_KEY=<key-name>:<base64-value>
```

  // Requested signer for the request. It is a qualified name in the form:
  // `scope-hostname.io/name`.
  // If empty, it will be defaulted:
  //  1. If it's a kubelet client certificate, it is assigned
  //     "kubernetes.io/kube-apiserver-client-kubelet".
  //  2. If it's a kubelet serving certificate, it is assigned
  //     "kubernetes.io/kubelet-serving".
  //  3. Otherwise, it is assigned "kubernetes.io/legacy-unknown".
