even more robust has been a major focus for this cycle for SIG Cluster Lifecycle (see the May 6, 2019 [Community Update](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QUOsQxfEfHlMq4lPjlK2ewQHsr9peEKymDw5_XwZm8Q/edit?usp=sharing)). Bug fixes across bare metal tooling and production-ready user stories, such as the high availability use cases have been given priority for 1.15.

kubeadm, the cluster lifecycle building block, continues to receive features and stability work required for bootstrapping...

### Using xl-meta

## Description of `xl.meta`

`xl.meta` is a new self describing backend format used by MinIO to support AWS S3 compatible versioning.
This file is the source of truth for each `version` at rest. `xl.meta` is a msgpack file serialized from a
well defined data structure. To understand `xl.meta` here are the few things to start with

// A xlMetaV1Object represents `xl.meta` metadata header.
type xlMetaV1Object struct {

	Stat    StatInfo `json:"stat"`    // Stat of the current object `xl.meta`.
	// Erasure coded info for the current object `xl.meta`.
	Erasure ErasureInfo `json:"erasure"`
