MinIO AIStor is licensed under the MinIO Software License. An active license is required for production deployments. This tutorial deploys MinIO AIStor onto Kubernetes distributions that follow the upstream API and functionality. The steps in this procedure may work on forked Kubernetes distributions. This procedure requires the installation of Kubernetes operators and associated resources including CustomResourceDefinitions, StatefulSets, and Secrets into new or existing Namespaces. You must perform the operations in this procedure as a user that has broad permissions to create resources within multiple Namespaces.
