MinIO is designed in a cloud-native manner to scale sustainably in multi-tenant environments. Orchestration platforms like Kubernetes provide perfect cloud-native environment to deploy and scale MinIO. 4 5 ## MinIO Deployment on Kubernetes 6 7 There are multiple options to deploy MinIO on Kubernetes: 8 9 - MinIO-Operator: Operator offers seamless way to create and update highly available distributed MinIO clusters. Refer [MinIO Operator documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio-operator/blob/master/README.md) for more details. 10 11 - Helm Chart: MinIO Helm Chart offers customizable and easy MinIO deployment with a single command. Refer [MinIO Helm Chart documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/helm/minio) for more details. 12 13 ## Monitoring MinIO in Kubernetes 14 15 MinIO server exposes un-authenticated liveness endpoints so Kubernetes can natively identify unhealthy MinIO containers. MinIO also exposes Prometheus compatible data on a different endpoint to enable Prometheus users to natively monitor their MinIO deployments. 16 17 ## Explore Further 18 19 - [MinIO Erasure Code QuickStart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html) 20 - [Kubernetes Documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/home/) 21 - [Helm package manager for kubernetes](https://helm.sh/)
