README, README_ZH, SECURITY, COMPLIANCE, CONTRIBUTING, NOTICE, code_of_conduct, the vulnerability and PR-etiquette documents, the GitHub issue and pull request templates, and the docs/ tree all present Silo as the product. The Grafana dashboards under docs/metrics/prometheus/grafana/ have their panel titles and descriptions rebranded while every minio_* query, label and expression is left alone, so existing alerts and recording rules keep matching. The distinction the review demanded is applied per hit rather than by search-and-replace: - Product and command text becomes Silo and silo: install and run instructions, systemd examples, compose services, download links, badges. - Protocol and interface text keeps MinIO: MINIO_* variables, minio_* metrics, x-minio-* headers, /minio/* routes, .minio.sys, arn:minio, and API field and error names. - Attribution keeps MinIO and gains the fork's own: the AGPL obligations, original copyright, CREDITS and NOTICE stay, with the modification notice added alongside rather than replacing them. - Historical and third-party references are left as facts, not rewritten for brand tidiness. README and README_ZH each carry an explicit non-affiliation notice, document the side-by-side package migration including the /etc/systemd/system/silo.service.d/10-legacy-user.conf drop-in for keeping a legacy UID/GID, and state that recursive chown is never performed. The trademark attribution uses the policy's approved "based on MinIO technology" wording, not the shortened form the policy rejects. github.com/pgsty/minio links are left in place and labelled transitional. The repository has not been renamed, and rewriting them now would produce documented URLs that 404 until the cutover; they change in the cutover commit together with the goreleaser release target, the OCI source label and the raw-content branch.

Deploy Silo on Kubernetes 
Silo is a high performance distributed object storage server, designed for large-scale private cloud infrastructure. Silo is designed in a cloud-native manner to scale sustainably in multi-tenant environments. Orchestration platforms like Kubernetes provide perfect cloud-native environment to deploy and scale Silo.
Silo Deployment on Kubernetes
There are multiple options to deploy Silo on Kubernetes:
-
The Silo Helm chart in
helm/silosupports direct Kubernetes deployment. The upstream MinIO Operator is a separate project; using it with Silo requires explicit image, command, and compatibility validation. -
See the chart's migration notes before upgrading an existing release so selectors, names, and service accounts stay stable.
Monitoring Silo in Kubernetes
Silo server exposes un-authenticated liveness endpoints so Kubernetes can natively identify unhealthy Silo containers. Silo also exposes Prometheus compatible data on a different endpoint to enable Prometheus users to natively monitor their Silo deployments.
