Reuse configuration with YAML anchors and fragments

Overview AIStor supports keeping multiple “versions” of an object in a single bucket. When enabled, versioning allows AIStor to keep multiple iterations of the same object. Write operations which would normally overwrite an existing object instead result in the creation of a new version of the object. AIStor versioning protects from unintended overwrites and deletions while providing support for “undoing” a write operation. Bucket versioning is a prerequisite for configuring object locking and retention rules.

AIStor provides multiple replication strategies to ensure data availability, support disaster recovery, enable geographic distribution, and facilitate data migration between clusters. Each replication method serves different use cases and operates at different levels, from entire cluster to individual objects. Replication methods AIStor supports four distinct replication and synchronization approaches:

For identities managed by an external OpenID Connect (OIDC) compatible provider, AIStor can use either of two methods to assign policies to the authenticated user. AIStor by default denies access to all actions or resources not explicitly allowed by a user’s assigned or inherited policies. Authorization options with OIDC OIDC integration in AIStor supports either of the following authorization methods:

You can suspend bucket versioning at any time using the AIStor Console, the AIStor mc CLI, or using an S3-compatible SDK. Behavior While versioning is suspended, AIStor does the following in the bucket: Objects created while versioning is suspended are assigned a null version ID. Any changes to an object while versioning is suspended result in overwriting that null versioned object. AIStor does not remove or otherwise alter existing versioned objects as part of suspending versioning. Clients can continue interacting with any existing object versions in the bucket. Procedure To disable versioning, select whether you want to use the AIStor Console or the AIStor Client (mc).

AIStor supports deploying resources onto macOS hosts for local development and evaluation. For the purposes of evaluation or local development, MinIO recommends using a machine released in the last 4 years with at least 8 GB of RAM. You can use any supported version of macOS. For testing or local development using a virtualized environment, use a machine with a higher number of cores and 16 or 32GB of RAM.

This page summarizes how a DELETE operation affects objects depending on the configuration of the bucket that contains the object. Any combination of the following factors may impact how DELETE operations function: Bucket versioning Object locking rules Object Lifecycle Management rules Object tiering Site or bucket replication Scanner Permissions AIStor uses a policy based access control system for access management. The user or service account must provide the correct policy action and conditions to allow a DELETE for the bucket and object.

This page documents the steps necessary to remove a peer site from existing Site Replication configuration. Remove the peer site using AIStor Console In a browser, access the Console for one of the existing replicated sites.

AIStor provides tools for scaling your cluster capacity by adding or removing server pools. These tools allow you to expand storage capacity or retire aging hardware without disrupting ongoing operations. Planning for growth MinIO recommends initially sizing clusters for at least 2-3 years of anticipated data growth. This approach minimizes the frequency of expansion operations and simplifies long-term capacity management.
