New in version MinIO: RELEASE.2022-10-08T20-11-00Z

The Batch Framework was introduced with the replicate job type in the mc RELEASES.2022-10-08T20-11-00Z.

Overview

The MinIO 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 deployment to take advantage of the server-side processing power without constraints of the local machine where you run the MinIO Client.

A batch file defines one job task.

Once started, MinIO starts processing the job. Time to completion depends on the resources available to the deployment.

If any portion of the job fails, MinIO retries the job up to the number of times defined in the job definition.

The MinIO Batch Framework supports the following job types:

Job Type	Description
`replicate`	Perform a one-time replication procedure from one MinIO location to another MinIO location.
`keyrotate`	Perform a one-time process to cycle the sse-s3 or sse-kms cryptographic keys on objects.

MinIO Batch CLI

Install the MinIO Client
Define an alias for the MinIO deployment

The mc batch commands include

`mc batch generate`	The `mc batch generate` command creates a basic YAML-formatted template file for the specified job type.
`mc batch start`	The `mc batch start` command launches a batch job from a job batch YAML file.
`mc batch list`	The `mc batch list` command outputs a list of the batch jobs currently in progress on a deployment.
`mc batch status`	The `mc batch status` command outputs real-time summaries of job events on a MinIO server.
`mc batch describe`	The `mc batch describe` command outputs the job definition for a specified job ID.

Access to `mc batch`

You can use MinIO’s Policy Based Access Control and the administrative policy actions to restrict who can start a batch job, retrieve a list of running jobs, or describe a running job.

Job Types

Replicate

Use the replicate job type to create a batch job that replicates objects from one MinIO deployment to another MinIO target.

New in version MinIO: Server RELEASE.2023-05-04T21-44-30Z

replicate batch jobs also support mc mirror-like behavior when presented an S3-compatible source or target.

At least one of the deployment locations, either the source or the target, must be local. The definition file can limit the replication by bucket, prefix, and/or filters to only replicate certain objects.

Changed in version MinIO: Server RELEASE.2023-04-07T05-28-58Z

You can replicate from a remote MinIO deployment to the local deployment that runs the batch job.

For example, you can use a batch job to perform a one-time replication sync to push objects from a bucket on a local deployment at minio-local/invoices/ to a bucket on a remote deployment at minio-remote/invoices. You can also pull objects from the remote deployment at minio-remote/invoices to the local deployment at minio-local/invoices.

The advantages of Batch Replication over mc mirror include:

Removes the client to cluster network as a potential bottleneck
A user only needs access to starting a batch job with no other permissions, as the job runs entirely server side on the cluster
The job provides for retry attempts in event that objects do not replicate
Batch jobs are one-time, curated processes allowing for fine control replication
(MinIO to MinIO only) The replication process copies object versions from source to target

Changed in version MinIO: Server RELEASE.2023-02-17T17-52-43Z

Run batch replication with multiple workers in parallel by specifying the MINIO_BATCH_REPLICATION_WORKERS environment variable.

Sample YAML Description File for a `replicate` Job Type

Create a basic replicate job definition file you can edit with mc batch generate.

replicate:
  apiVersion: v1
  # source of the objects to be replicated
  source:
    type: TYPE # valid values are "s3" or "minio"
    bucket: BUCKET
    prefix: PREFIX
    # endpoint: ENDPOINT
    # credentials:
    #   accessKey: ACCESS-KEY
    #   secretKey: SECRET-KEY
    #   sessionToken: SESSION-TOKEN # Available when rotating credentials are used

  # target where the objects must be replicated
  target:
    type: TYPE # valid values are "s3" or "minio"
    bucket: BUCKET
    prefix: PREFIX
    # endpoint: ENDPOINT
    # credentials:
    #   accessKey: ACCESS-KEY
    #   secretKey: SECRET-KEY
    #   sessionToken: SESSION-TOKEN # Available when rotating credentials are used

  # optional flags based filtering criteria
  # for all source objects
  flags:
    filter:
      newerThan: "7d" # match objects newer than this value (e.g. 7d10h31s)
      olderThan: "7d" # match objects older than this value (e.g. 7d10h31s)
      createdAfter: "date" # match objects created after "date"
      createdBefore: "date" # match objects created before "date"

      # tags:
      #   - key: "name"
      #     value: "pick*" # match objects with tag 'name', with all values starting with 'pick'

      ## NOTE: metadata filter not supported when "source" is non MinIO.
      # metadata:
      #   - key: "content-type"
      #     value: "image/*" # match objects with 'content-type', with all values starting with 'image/'

  notify:
    endpoint: "https://notify.endpoint" # notification endpoint to receive job status events
    token: "Bearer xxxxx" # optional authentication token for the notification endpoint

  retry:
    attempts: 10 # number of retries for the job before giving up
    delay: "500ms" # least amount of delay between each retry

Key Rotate

New in version MinIO: RELEASE.2023-04-07T05-28-58Z

Use the keyrotate job type to create a batch job that cycles the sse-s3 or sse-kms keys for encrypted objects.

The YAML configuration supports filters to restrict key rotation to a specific set of objects by creation date, tags, metadata, or kms key. You can also define retry attempts or set a notification endpoint and token.

Sample YAML Description File for a `keyrotate` Job Type

Create a basic keyrotate job definition file you can edit with mc batch generate.

keyrotate:
  apiVersion: v1
  bucket: bucket
  prefix: 
  encryption:
    type: sse-kms # valid values are sse-s3 and sse-kms
    
    # The following encryption values only apply for sse-kms type.
    # For sse-s3 key types, MinIO uses the key provided by the MINIO_KMS_KES_KEY_FILE environment variable.
    # The following two values are ignored if type is set to sse-s3.
    key: my-new-keys2 # valid only for sse-kms
    context: <new-kms-key-context> # valid only for sse-kms

  # optional flags based filtering criteria
  flags:
    filter:
      newerThan: "84h" # match objects newer than this value (e.g. 7d10h31s)
      olderThan: "80h" # match objects older than this value (e.g. 7d10h31s)
      createdAfter: "2023-03-02T15:04:05Z07:00" # match objects created after "date"
      createdBefore: "2023-03-02T15:04:05Z07:00" # match objects created before "date"
      tags:
        - key: "name"
          value: "pick*" # match objects with tag 'name', with all values starting with 'pick'
      metadata:
        - key: "content-type"
          value: "image/*" # match objects with 'content-type', with all values starting with 'image/'
      kmskey: "key-id" # match objects with KMS key-id (applicable only for sse-kms)
  
  # optional entries to add notifications for the job
  notify:
    endpoint: "https://notify.endpoint" # notification endpoint to receive job status events
    token: "Bearer xxxxx" # optional authentication token for the notification endpoint
  
  # optional entries to add retry attempts if the job is interrupted
  retry:
    attempts: 10 # number of retries for the job before giving up
    delay: "500ms" # least amount of delay between each retry
