The MinIO AIStor Batch Framework allows you to create, manage, monitor, and execute jobs using a YAML-formatted job definition file (a “batch file”). The batch jobs run directly on the MinIO AIStor deployment to take advantage of the server-side processing power without constraints of the local machine where you run the AIStor Client. The replicate batch job replicates objects from one MinIO AIStor deployment (the source deployment) to another MinIO AIStor deployment (the target deployment). The deployment specified as the alias becomes the ’local’ deployment for the purposes of replication.
