# Bucket Replication Guide [](https://slack.min.io) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/)
|
|
|
|
Bucket replication is designed to replicate selected objects in a bucket to a destination bucket.
|
|
|
|
The contents of this page have been migrated to the new [MinIO Baremetal Documentation: Bucket Replication](https://docs.min.io/minio/baremetal/replication/replication-overview.html#) page. The [Bucket Replication](https://docs.min.io/minio/baremetal/replication/replication-overview.html#) section includes dedicated tutorials for configuring one-way "Active-Passive" and two-way "Active-Active" bucket replication. Please update your bookmarks to use the new MinIO documentation, as this legacy documentation will be deprecated and removed in the future.
|
|
|
|
To replicate objects in a bucket to a destination bucket on a target site either in the same cluster or a different cluster, start by enabling [versioning](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-bucket-versioning-guide.html) for both source and destination buckets. Finally, the target site and the destination bucket need to be configured on the source MinIO server.
|
|
|
|
## Highlights
|
|
- Supports source and destination buckets to have the same name unlike AWS S3, addresses variety of usecases such as *Splunk*, *Veeam* site to site DR.
|
|
- Supports object locking/retention across source and destination buckets natively out of the box, unlike AWS S3.
|
|
- Simpler implementation than [AWS S3 Bucket Replication Config](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/replication-add-config.html) with requirements such as IAM Role, AccessControlTranslation, Metrics and SourceSelectionCriteria are not needed with MinIO.
|
|
- Active-Active replication
|
|
- Multi destination replication
|
|
|
|
## How to use?
|
|
Ensure that versioning is enabled on the source and target buckets with `mc version` command. If object locking is required, the buckets should have been created with `mc mb --with-lock`
|
|
|
|
Create a replication target on the source cluster as shown below:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mc admin bucket remote add myminio/srcbucket https://accessKey:secretKey@replica-endpoint:9000/destbucket --service replication --region us-east-1
|
|
Remote ARN = 'arn:minio:replication:us-east-1:c5be6b16-769d-432a-9ef1-4567081f3566:destbucket'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> The user running the above command needs *s3:GetReplicationConfiguration* and *s3:GetBucketVersioning* permission on the source cluster. We do not recommend running root credentials/super admin with replication, instead create a dedicated user. The access credentials used at the destination requires *s3:ReplicateObject* permission.
|
|
|
|
The following minimal permission policy is needed by admin user setting up replication on the `source`:
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"Version": "2012-10-17",
|
|
"Statement": [
|
|
{
|
|
"Action": [
|
|
"admin:SetBucketTarget",
|
|
"admin:GetBucketTarget"
|
|
],
|
|
"Effect": "Allow",
|
|
"Sid": ""
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"Effect": "Allow",
|
|
"Action": [
|
|
"s3:GetReplicationConfiguration",
|
|
"s3:PutReplicationConfiguration",
|
|
"s3:ListBucket",
|
|
"s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
|
|
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
|
|
"s3:GetBucketVersioning"
|
|
],
|
|
"Resource": [
|
|
"arn:aws:s3:::srcbucket"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The access key provided for the replication *target* cluster should have these minimal permissions:
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"Version": "2012-10-17",
|
|
"Statement": [
|
|
{
|
|
"Effect": "Allow",
|
|
"Action": [
|
|
"s3:GetReplicationConfiguration",
|
|
"s3:ListBucket",
|
|
"s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
|
|
"s3:GetBucketLocation",
|
|
"s3:GetBucketVersioning",
|
|
"s3:GetBucketObjectLockConfiguration"
|
|
],
|
|
"Resource": [
|
|
"arn:aws:s3:::destbucket"
|
|
]
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"Effect": "Allow",
|
|
"Action": [
|
|
"s3:GetReplicationConfiguration",
|
|
"s3:ReplicateTags",
|
|
"s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
|
|
"s3:GetObject",
|
|
"s3:GetObjectVersion",
|
|
"s3:GetObjectVersionTagging",
|
|
"s3:PutObject",
|
|
"s3:DeleteObject",
|
|
"s3:ReplicateObject",
|
|
"s3:ReplicateDelete"
|
|
],
|
|
"Resource": [
|
|
"arn:aws:s3:::destbucket/*"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Please note that the permissions required by the admin user on the target cluster can be more fine grained to exclude permissions like "s3:ReplicateDelete", "s3:GetBucketObjectLockConfiguration" etc depending on whether delete replication rules are set up or if object locking is disabled on `destbucket`. The above policies assume that replication of objects, tags and delete marker replication are all enabled on object lock enabled buckets. A sample script to setup replication is provided [here](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/bucket/replication/setup_replication.sh)
|
|
|
|
Once successfully created and authorized, the `mc admin bucket remote add` command generates a replication target ARN. This command lists all the currently authorized replication targets:
|
|
```
|
|
mc admin bucket remote ls myminio/srcbucket --service "replication"
|
|
Remote ARN = 'arn:minio:replication:us-east-1:c5be6b16-769d-432a-9ef1-4567081f3566:destbucket'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The replication configuration can now be added to the source bucket by applying the json file with replication configuration. The Remote ARN above is passed in as a json element in the configuration.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Role" :"",
|
|
"Rules": [
|
|
{
|
|
"Status": "Enabled",
|
|
"Priority": 1,
|
|
"DeleteMarkerReplication": { "Status": "Disabled" },
|
|

|
|

},
|

|
|
"Key": "Company",
|
|
"Value": "AcmeCorp"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"Destination": {
|
|
"Bucket": "arn:minio:replication:us-east-1:c5be6b16-769d-432a-9ef1-4567081f3566:destbucket",
|
|
"StorageClass": "STANDARD"
|
|
},
|
|
"SourceSelectionCriteria": {
|
|
"ReplicaModifications": {
|
|
"Status": "Enabled"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The replication configuration follows [AWS S3 Spec](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/replication-add-config.html). Any objects uploaded to the source bucket that meet replication criteria will now be automatically replicated by the MinIO server to the remote destination bucket. Replication can be disabled at any time by disabling specific rules in the configuration or deleting the replication configuration entirely.
|
|
|
|
When object locking is used in conjunction with replication, both source and destination buckets needs to have [object locking](https://docs.min.io/docs/minio-bucket-object-lock-guide.html) enabled. Similarly objects encrypted on the server side, will be replicated if destination also supports encryption.
|
|
|
|
Replication status can be seen in the metadata on the source and destination objects. On the source side, the `X-Amz-Replication-Status` changes from `PENDING` to `COMPLETED` or `FAILED` after replication attempt either succeeded or failed respectively. On the destination side, a `X-Amz-Replication-Status` status of `REPLICA` indicates that the object was replicated successfully. Any replication failures are automatically re-attempted during a periodic disk scanner cycle.
|
|
|
|
To perform bi-directional replication, repeat the above process on the target site - this time setting the source bucket as the replication target. It is recommended that replication be run in a system with atleast two CPU's available to the process, so that replication can run in its own thread.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Replica Modification sync
|
|
If bi-directional replication is set up between two clusters, any metadata update on the REPLICA object is by default reflected back in the source object when `ReplicaModifications` status in the `SourceSelectionCriteria` is `Enabled`. In MinIO, this is enabled by default. If a metadata update is performed on the "REPLICA" object, its `X-Amz-Replication-Status` will change from `PENDING` to `COMPLETE` or `FAILED`, and the source object version will show `X-Amz-Replication-Status` of `REPLICA` once the replication operation is complete.
|
|
|
|
The replication configuration in use on a bucket can be viewed using the `mc replicate export alias/bucket` command.
|
|
|
|
To disable replica metadata modification syncing, use `mc replicate edit` with the --replicate flag.
|
|
```
|
|
$ mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker"
|
|
```
|
|
To re-enable replica metadata modification syncing,
|
|
```
|
|
$ mc replicate edit alias/bucket --id xyz.id --replicate "delete,delete-marker,replica-metadata-sync"
|
|
```
|
|
## MinIO Extension
|
|
### Replicating Deletes
|
|
|
|
Delete marker replication is allowed in [AWS V1 Configuration](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/managing-delete-marker-replication-in-amazon-s3/) but not in V2 configuration. The MinIO implementation above is based on V2 configuration, however it has been extended to allow both DeleteMarker replication and replication of versioned deletes with the `DeleteMarkerReplication` and `DeleteReplication` fields in the replication configuration above. By default, this is set to `Disabled` unless the user specifies it while adding a replication rule.
|
|
|
|
When an object is deleted from the source bucket, the corresponding replica version will be marked deleted if delete marker replication is enabled in the replication configuration. Replication of deletes that specify a version id (a.k.a hard deletes) can be enabled by setting the `DeleteReplication` status to enabled in the replication configuration. This is a MinIO specific extension that can be enabled using the `mc replicate add` or `mc replicate edit` command with the --replicate "delete" flag.
|
|
|
|
Note that due to this extension behavior, AWS SDK's may not support the extension functionality pertaining to replicating versioned deletes.
|
|
|
|
To add a replication rule allowing both delete marker replication, versioned delete replication or both specify the --replicate flag with comma separated values as in the example below.
|
|
|
|
Additional permission of "s3:ReplicateDelete" action would need to be specified on the access key configured for the target cluster if Delete Marker replication or versioned delete replication is enabled.
|
|
```
|
|
mc replicate add myminio/srcbucket/Tax --priority 1 --remote-bucket "arn:minio:replication:us-east-1:c5be6b16-769d-432a-9ef1-4567081f3566:destbucket" --tags "Year=2019&Company=AcmeCorp" --storage-class "STANDARD" --replicate "delete,delete-marker"
|
|
Replication configuration applied successfully to myminio/srcbucket.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> NOTE: In mc versions RELEASE.2021-09-02T09-21-27Z and older, the remote target ARN needs to be passed in the --arn flag and actual remote bucket name in --remote-bucket flag of `mc replicate add`. For example, with the ARN above the replication configuration used to be added with
|
|
```
|
|
mc replicate add myminio/srcbucket/Tax --priority 1 --remote-bucket destbucket --arn "arn:minio:replication:us-east-1:c5be6b16-769d-432a-9ef1-4567081f3566:destbucket" --tags "Year=2019&Company=AcmeCorp" --storage-class "STANDARD" --replicate "delete,delete-marker"
|
|
Replication configuration applied successfully to myminio/srcbucket.
|
|
```
|
|
Also note that for `mc` version `RELEASE.2021-09-02T09-21-27Z` or older supports only a single remote target per bucket. To take advantage of multiple destination replication, use the latest version of `mc`
|
|
|
|
Status of delete marker replication can be viewed by doing a GET/HEAD on the object version - it will return a `X-Minio-Replication-DeleteMarker-Status` header and http response code of `405`. In the case of permanent deletes, if the delete replication is pending or failed to propagate to the target cluster, GET/HEAD will return additional `X-Minio-Replication-Delete-Status` header and a http response code of `405`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The status of replication can be monitored by configuring event notifications on the source and target buckets using `mc event add`.On the source side, the `s3:PutObject`, `s3:Replication:OperationCompletedReplication` and `s3:Replication:OperationFailedReplication` events show the status of replication in the `X-Amz-Replication-Status` metadata.
|
|
|
|
On the target bucket, `s3:PutObject` event shows `X-Amz-Replication-Status` status of `REPLICA` in the metadata. Additional metrics to monitor backlog state for the purpose of bandwidth management and resource allocation are exposed via Prometheus - see https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/metrics/prometheus/list.md for more details.
|
|
|
|
### Sync/Async Replication
|
|
By default, replication is completed asynchronously. If synchronous replication is desired, set the --sync flag while adding a
|
|
remote replication target using the `mc admin bucket remote add` command
|
|
```
|
|
mc admin bucket remote add myminio/srcbucket https://accessKey:secretKey@replica-endpoint:9000/destbucket --service replication --region us-east-1 --sync --healthcheck-seconds 100
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Existing object replication
|
|
Existing object replication as detailed [here](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/storage/replicating-existing-objects-between-s3-buckets/) can be enabled by passing `existing-objects` as a value to `--replicate` flag while adding or editing a replication rule.
|
|
|
|
Once existing object replication is enabled, all objects or object prefixes that satisfy the replication rules and were created prior to adding replication configuration OR while replication rules were disabled will be synced to the target cluster. Depending on the number of previously existing objects, the existing objects that are now eligible to be replicated will eventually be synced to the target cluster as the scanner schedules them. This may be slower depending on the load on the cluster, latency and size of the namespace.
|
|
|
|
In the rare event that target DR site is entirely lost and previously replicated objects to the DR cluster need to be re-replicated, `mc replicate resync alias/bucket` can be used to initiate a reset. This would initiate a re-sync between the two clusters on a lower priority as the scanner picks up these objects to re-sync.
|
|
|
|
This is an expensive operation and should be initiated only once - progress of the syncing can be monitored by looking at Prometheus metrics. If object version has been re-replicated, `mc stat --vid --debug` on this version shows an additional header `X-Minio-Replication-Reset-Status` with the replication timestamp and ResetID generated at the time of issuing the `mc replicate resync` command.
|
|
|
|
Note that ExistingObjectReplication needs to be enabled in the config via `mc replicate [add|edit]` by passing `existing-objects` as one of the values to `--replicate` flag. Only those objects meeting replication rules and having existing object replication enabled will be re-synced.
|
|
|
|
### Multi destination replication
|
|
|
|
Replication from a source bucket to multiple destination buckets is supported. For each of the targets, repeat the steps to configure a remote target ARN and add replication rules to the source bucket's replication config.
|
|
|
|
Note that on the source side, the `X-Amz-Replication-Status` changes from `PENDING` to `COMPLETED` after replication succeeds to each of the targets. On the destination side, a `X-Amz-Replication-Status` status of `REPLICA` indicates that the object was replicated successfully. Any replication failures are automatically re-attempted during a periodic disk scanner cycle.
