Example: Limit a MinIO cluster to accept at max 1600 simultaneous S3 API requests across 8 servers, and set the wait deadline of *2 minutes* per API operation.

```sh
export MINIO_API_REQUESTS_MAX=1600
export MINIO_API_REQUESTS_DEADLINE=2m
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=your-access-key
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=your-secret-key

- Temporary credentials are short-term, as the name implies. They can be configured to last for anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. After the credentials expire, MinIO no longer recognizes them or allows any kind of access from API requests made with them.

- The IP addresses and drive paths below are for demonstration purposes only, you need to replace these with the actual IP addresses and drive paths/folders.
- Servers running distributed MinIO instances should be less than 15 minutes apart. You can enable [NTP](http://www.ntp.org/) service as a best practice to ensure same times across servers.
- `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable should be defined and exported for bucket DNS style support.
