Description:

MinIO Operator orchestrates the tenant(s) by deploying a Operator POD that controls the flow in which a Tenant is deployed and maintained. A React UI is shown via Console POD and it allows end user to interact with the Operator to create, edit or delete a Tenant.

Inside a Tenant, MinIO POD will contain an initContainer and a sidecar container that are used by MinIO to retrieve the MINIO_ARGS for the tenant and to monitor the configurations secret and update it locally as soon as it changes. Additionally this sidecar will validate if root credentials are missing and if so, error out. MinIO Containers will store and retrieve Objects from the PVs via its PVCs.
