Software Checklist
Use the following checklist when planning the software configuration for a production, distributed MinIO deployment.
MinIO Pre-requisites
Servers running a Linux operating system with a 5.x+ kernel, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9 or Ubuntu LTS 20.04+ |
|
A method to synchronize time servers across nodes, such as with |
|
System administrator access to the remote servers |
|
A management tool for distributed systems, such as Ansible, Terraform, or Kubernetes for orchestrated environments. Kubernetes infrastructures should use the MinIO Operator for best results. |
|
Load balancer to handle routing of requests (for example, NGINX) |
|
Prometheus / Grafana setup for monitoring and metrics |
|
(optional) |
MinIO Install
Install the MinIO server binary across all nodes, ensuring that each node uses the same version of that binary.
See the Deploy MinIO Operator and Minio Tenant deployment guide for more information.
Post Install Tasks
(optional) Create an |
|
Configure Bucket replication to duplicate contents of a bucket to another bucket location |
|
Configure Site replication to synchronize contents of multiple dispersed data center locations |
|
Configure Object retention rules with lifecycle management to manage when objects should expire |
|
Configure Object storage level rules with tiering to move objects between hot, warm, and cold storage and maximize storage cost efficiencies |
3rd Party Identity Provider Tasks
Authenticate to MinIO with Security Token Service (STS)
Enabling this requires MinIO support.
