## About security, APIs, and docs

Hiding your documentation user interfaces in production *shouldn't* be the way to protect your API.

That doesn't add any extra security to your API, the *path operations* will still be available where they are.

If there's a security flaw in your code, it will still exist.

#### List all config keys available

```
~ mc admin config set myminio/
```

#### Obtain help for each key

```
~ mc admin config set myminio/ <key>
```

e.g: `mc admin config set myminio/ etcd` returns available `etcd` config args

```
~ mc admin config set play/ etcd
KEY:

One of those variables is the `PATH` variable.

/// tip

You can learn more about the `PATH` environment variable in the [Environment Variables](environment-variables.md#path-environment-variable){.internal-link target=_blank} section.

## What is Erasure Code?

Erasure code is a mathematical algorithm to reconstruct missing or corrupted data. MinIO uses Reed-Solomon code to shard objects into variable data and parity blocks. For example, in a 12 drive setup, an object can be sharded to a variable number of data and parity blocks across all the drives - ranging from six data and six parity blocks to ten data and two parity blocks.

   * modeled by "storedPermits" variable. This variable is zero when there is no underutilization,
   * and it can grow up to maxStoredPermits, for sufficiently large underutilization. So, the
   * requested permits, by an invocation acquire(permits), are served from:
   *
   * - stored permits (if available)
   *
   * - fresh permits (for any remaining permits)
   *

### Policy Variables

You can use policy variables in the *Resource* element and in string comparisons in the *Condition* element.

    secretName: {{ $certSecret }}
    {{- if ne $publicCrt "" }}
    items:
    - key: {{ $publicCrt }}
      path: public.crt
    {{- end }}
{{- end }}
{{- end -}}

{{/*
Returns the available value for certain key in an existing secret (if it exists),
otherwise it generates a random value.
*/}}
{{- define "minio.getValueFromSecret" }}
  {{- $len := (default 16 .Length) | int -}}

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.

This means that in cases where raw IO is below these numbers
compression will not only reduce disk usage but also help increase system throughput.
