# Federation Quickstart Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io) *Federation feature is deprecated and should be avoided for future deployments*

This document explains how to configure MinIO with `Bucket lookup from DNS` style federation.

## Get started

### 1. Prerequisites

Install MinIO - [MinIO Quickstart Guide](https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/index.html#quickstart-for-linux).

### 2. Run MinIO in federated mode

	for _, s := range secrets {
		if includeConfigType {
			s.Name = fmt.Sprintf("secret/%s", s.Name)
		}
		// If all secrets have a trust domain, we are probably dealing with trust domain federation, so print trust domains.
		// Otherwise, do not do that, because we do not know how to determine that information from the certificate,
		// so the output would be confusing.
		if !hasUnknownTrustDomain {

- Temporary credentials have a limited lifetime, there is no need to rotate them or explicitly revoke them. Expired temporary credentials cannot be reused.
