# 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

   * very flexible regarding wildcard rules, but this flexibility is not something currently used
   * in practice. To simplify the implementation, we've avoided implementing the flexible rules in
   * favor of supporting what's actually used in practice. That means if these assertions ever fail,
   * the implementation will need to be revisited to support a more flexible rule.

might be trivial which can be resolved easily, when conflicts seem to be non-trivial or touches the part of the code-base the developer is not confident - to get additional clarity reach out to #hack on MinIOHQ slack channel. Hasty changes must be avoided, minor fixes and logs may be added to hotfix branches but this should not be followed as practice.*

Once the **patch** is successfully applied, developer must run tests to validate the fix that was backported by running following tests, locally....
