Welcome to the KES wiki! Here, you can find information about MinIO's KES project - including architecture and configuration guides, best practices and general documentation.

First steps

  • If you've never used KES before you may want to take look at our Getting Started Guide and start your first KES server today.
  • If you want to learn more about KES and how a KES server works then you may want to checkout our Concepts overview.

In general, KES is a tool for managing and distributing cryptographic keys in large and distributed systems. It decouples applications from central key-management systems to make key-management scalable again.

KES,

  • as a stateless service, can scale horizontally with your applications.
  • as a minimal and use-case specific system, is very easy to configure and manage.
  • as open source project, relies only on common web technologies and is designed to be secure-by-default.
