The procedure on this page creates a new object lifecycle management rule that
|
|
transition objects from a MinIO bucket to a remote storage tier on the
|
|
:abbr:`Azure (Microsoft Azure)` storage backend. This procedure supports use
|
|
cases like moving aged data to low-cost public cloud storage solutions after a
|
|
certain time period or calendar date.

Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Install and Configure ``mc``
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This procedure uses :mc:`mc` for performing operations on the MinIO cluster.
|
|
Install :mc:`mc` on a machine with network access to both source and destination
|
|
clusters. See the ``mc`` :ref:`Installation Quickstart <mc-install>` for
|
|
instructions on downloading and installing ``mc``.
|
|
|
|
Use the :mc:`mc alias set` command to create an alias for the source MinIO cluster.
|
|
Alias creation requires specifying an access key for a user on the source and
|
|
destination clusters. The specified users must have :ref:`permissions
|
|
<minio-lifecycle-management-transition-to-azure-permissions>` for configuring
|
|
and applying transition operations.
|
|
|

|
|
|
Required MinIO Permissions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
MinIO requires the following permissions scoped to the bucket or buckets
|
|
for which you are creating lifecycle management rules.
|
|
|
|
- :policy-action:`s3:PutLifecycleConfiguration`
|
|
- :policy-action:`s3:GetLifecycleConfiguration`
|
|
|
|
MinIO also requires the following administrative permissions on the cluster
|
|
in which you are creating remote tiers for object transition lifecycle
|
|
management rules:
|
|
|
|
- :policy-action:`admin:SetTier`
|
|
- :policy-action:`admin:ListTier`
|
|
|
|
For example, the following policy provides permission for configuring object
|
|
transition lifecycle management rules on any bucket in the cluster:.
|
|
|
|
.. literalinclude:: /extra/examples/LifecycleManagementAdmin.json
|
|
:language: json
|
|
:class: copyable
|
|
|
|
.. _minio-lifecycle-management-transition-to-azure-permissions-remote:
|
|
|
|
Required Azure Permissions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Object transition lifecycle management rules require additional permissions on
|
|
the remote storage tier. Specifically, MinIO requires the
|
|
:abbr:`Azure (Microsoft Azure)` credentials provide read, write, list, and
|
|
delete permissions for the remote storage account and container.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the `Azure RBAC
|
|
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/>`__
|
|
documentation for more complete guidance on configuring the required
|
|
permissions.
|
|
|
|
Remote Storage Account and Container Must Exist
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Create the remote :azure-docs:`Azure storage account <storage/common/storage-account-overview>` and container *prior* to configuring lifecycle management tiers or rules using that resource as the target.
|
|
When :azure-docs:`creating the Azure storage account <storage/common/storage-account-create>`, ensure the storage account corresponds to either Standard or Premium blob storage with the locally redundant storage (LRS) redundancy option.
|
|
The Azure Go SDK API used by MinIO does not support any other redundancy options.
|
|
|
|
If you set a Storage Account :azure-docs:`default access tier <storage/blobs/access-tiers-online-manage>`, MinIO uses that default *if* you do not specify a :mc-cmd:`storage class <mc ilm tier add --storage-class>` when defining the remote tier.
|
|
Ensure you document the settings of both your Azure storage account and MinIO tiering configuration to avoid any potential confusion, misconfiguration, or other unexpected outcomes.
|
|
|
|
For more information on Azure storage accounts, see :azure-docs:`Storage accounts <storage/common/storage-account-overview#types-of-storage-accounts>`.

Considerations
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Exclusive Access to Remote Data
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-tiering.rst
|
|
:start-after: start-transition-bucket-access-desc
|
|
:end-before: end-transition-bucket-access-desc
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
|
|
MinIO does *not* support changing the account name associated to an Azure
|
|
remote tier. Azure storage backends are tied to the account, such that
|
|
changing the account would change the storage backend and prevent access
|
|
to any objects transitioned to the original account/backend.
|
|
|
|
Please contact `MinIO Support <https://min.io/pricing?ref=docs>`__ if you need
|
|
situation-specific guidance around configuring Azure remote tiers.

Procedure
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
1) Configure User Accounts and Policies for Lifecycle Management
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. |permissions| replace:: :ref:`permissions <minio-lifecycle-management-transition-to-azure-permissions>`
|
|
|
|
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-tiering.rst
|
|
:start-after: start-create-transition-user-desc
|
|
:end-before: end-create-transition-user-desc
|
|
|
|
2) Configure the Remote Storage Tier
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Use the :mc:`mc ilm tier add` command to add a new remote storage tier:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
:class: copyable
|
|
|
|
mc ilm tier add azure TARGET TIER_NAME \
|
|
--account-name ACCOUNT \
|
|
--account-key KEY \
|
|
--bucket CONTAINER \
|
|
--prefix PREFIX \
|
|
--storage-class STORAGE_CLASS
|
|
|
|
|
|
The example above uses the following arguments:
|
|
|
|
.. list-table::
|
|
:header-rows: 1
|
|
:widths: 30 70
|
|
:width: 100%
|
|
|
|
* - Argument
|
|
- Description
|
|
|
|
* - :mc-cmd:`TARGET <mc ilm tier add TARGET>`
|
|
- The :mc:`alias <mc alias>` of the MinIO deployment on which to configure
|
|
the remote tier.
|
|
|
|
* - :mc-cmd:`TIER_NAME <mc ilm tier add TIER_NAME>`
|
|
- The name to associate with the new :abbr:`Azure (Microsoft Azure)` blob
|
|
remote storage tier. Specify the name in all-caps, e.g. ``AZURE_TIER``.
|
|
This value is required in the next step.
|
|
|
|
* - :mc-cmd:`ACCOUNT <mc ilm tier add --account-name>`
|
|
- The :azure-docs:`Storage Account <storage/common/storage-account-overview>` to use as the remote storage resource.
|
|
|
|
You cannot change this account name after creating the tier.
|
|
|
|
* - :mc-cmd:`KEY <mc ilm tier add --account-key>`
|
|
- The corresponding shared account key for the specified ``ACCOUNT``.
|
|
|
|
The account key must have an assigned Azure policy with the required :ref:`permissions
|
|
<minio-lifecycle-management-transition-to-azure-permissions-remote>`.
|
|
|
|
See :azure-docs:`Managing storage account access keys <storage/common/storage-account-keys-manage>` for more information.
|
|
|
|
* - :mc-cmd:`CONTAINER <mc ilm tier add --bucket>`
|
|
- The name of the container on the :abbr:`Azure (Microsoft Azure)` storage
|
|
backend to which MinIO transitions objects.
|
|
|
|
* - :mc-cmd:`PREFIX <mc ilm tier add --prefix>`
|
|
- The optional container prefix within which MinIO transitions objects.
|
|
|
|
MinIO stores all transitioned objects in the specified ``BUCKET`` under a
|
|
unique per-deployment prefix value. Omit this argument to use only that
|
|
value for isolating and organizing data within the remote storage.
|
|
|
|
MinIO recommends specifying this optional prefix for remote storage tiers
|
|
which contain other data, including transitioned objects from other MinIO
|
|
deployments. This prefix should provide a clear reference back to the
|
|
source MinIO deployment to facilitate ease of operations related to
|
|
diagnostics, maintenance, or disaster recovery.
|
|
|
|
* - :mc-cmd:`STORAGE_CLASS <mc ilm tier add --storage-class>`
|
|
- The Azure access tier MinIO applies to objects transitioned to the Azure container.
|
|
|
|
MinIO tiering behavior depends on the remote storage returning objects immediately (milliseconds to seconds) upon request.
|
|
MinIO therefore *cannot* support remote storage which requires rehydration, wait periods, or manual intervention.
|
|
|
|
The following Azure access tiers meet MinIO's requirements as a remote tier:
|
|
|
|
- ``Hot``
|
|
- ``Cool``
|
|
|
|
For more information, see :azure-docs:`Hot, cool, and archive access tiers for blob data <storage/blobs/access-tiers-overview.html>`.
|
|
|
|
3) Create and Apply the Transition Rule
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-tiering.rst
|
|
:start-after: start-create-transition-rule-desc
|
|
:end-before: end-create-transition-rule-desc
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Verify the Transition Rule
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Use the :mc:`mc ilm rule ls` command to review the configured transition rules:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
:class: copyable
|
|
|
|
mc ilm rule ls ALIAS/PATH --transition
|
|
|
|
- Replace :mc-cmd:`ALIAS <mc ilm rule ls ALIAS>` with the :mc:`alias <mc alias>`
|
|
of the MinIO deployment.
|
|
|
|
- Replace :mc-cmd:`PATH <mc ilm rule ls ALIAS>` with the name of the bucket for
|
|
which to retrieve the configured lifecycle management rules.
