The following checklists provide a high-level guideline for validating production-readiness of MinIO deployments.

These checklists may not meet the precise requirements of your unique deployment topology or architecture, and are intended as a best-effort guide to reliable production deployments.

[MinIO SUBNET](https://min.io/pricing?jmp=docs) users can [log in](https://subnet.min.io/?ref=docs) and create a new issue for pre-production deployment reviews. Coordination with MinIO Engineering via SUBNET ensures end-to-end support for performant and reliable deployments.

Community users can seek support on the [MinIO Community Slack](https://slack.min.io). Community Support is best-effort only and has no SLAs around responsiveness.
