MinIO is built ground up on the cloud-native premise. With features like erasure-coding, distributed and shared setup, it focuses only on storage and does it very well. While, it can be scaled by just replicating MinIO instances per tenant via an orchestration platform.

# MinIO Server Limits Per Tenant

For optimal production setup MinIO recommends Linux kernel version 4.x and later.

	blockSizeV2 = 1 * humanize.MiByte

NOTE:

- `timeToFirstByte` and `timeToResponse` will be expressed in Nanoseconds.
- Additionally in the case of the erasure coded setup `tags.objectLocation` provides per object details about
  - Pool number the object operation was performed on.
  - Set number the object operation was performed on.

- All versions, including delete-markers should be deleted before deleting a bucket.
- **Versioning feature is only available in erasure coded and distributed erasure coded setups**.

## How to configure versioning on a bucket

Each bucket created has a versioning configuration associated with it. By default bucket is unversioned as shown below

```

package cmd

import (
	"net/http"

	"github.com/minio/minio/internal/grid"
	"github.com/minio/mux"
)

// Composed function registering routers for only distributed Erasure setup.
func registerDistErasureRouters(router *mux.Router, endpointServerPools EndpointServerPools) {
	var (
		lockGrid   = globalLockGrid.Load()
		commonGrid = globalGrid.Load()
	)
