# 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://docs.min.io/community/minio-object-store/operations/deployments/baremetal-deploy-minio-on-redhat-linux.html).

	// Bucket federation is 'true' only when IAM assets are not namespaced
	// per tenant and all tenants interested in globally available users
	// if namespace was requested such as specifying etcdPathPrefix then
	// we assume that users are interested in global bucket support
	// but not federation.
	globalBucketFederation = etcdCfg.PathPrefix == "" && etcdCfg.Enabled

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