# 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

    * pillar['federations_domain_map'] = "- --federations=myfederation=federation.test"
    * where `myfederation` is the name of the federation and `federation.test` is the domain name registered for the federation.
* federation: Upgrading the groupversion to v1beta1 ([#28186](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/28186), [@nikhiljindal](https://github.com/nikhiljindal))

* kubefed init creates a service account for federation controller manager in the federation-system namespace and binds that service account to the federation-system:federation-controller-manager role that has read and list access on secrets in the federation-system namespace.  ([#40392](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40392), [@madhusudancs](https://github.com/madhusudancs))

* Federation binaries and their corresponding docker images - `federation-apiserver` and `federation-controller-manager` are now folded in to the `hyperkube` binary. If you were using one of these binaries or docker images, please switch to using the `hyperkube` version. Please refer to the federation manifests - `federation/manifests/federation-apiserver.yaml` and `federation/manifests/federation-controller-manager-deployment.yaml` for examples. ...

	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 {

						globalDomainNames, err))
				}
			}
		}
	}

	// 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.

## Identity Federation

### **Cluster Federation**
#### Placement Policy
* [alpha] The federation-apiserver now supports a SchedulingPolicy admission controller that enables policy-based control over placement of federated resources. For more information, see [Set up placement policies in Federation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/federation/set-up-placement-policies-federation/).

#### Cluster Selection

	// Cluster replication manager.
	globalSiteReplicationSys SiteReplicationSys

	// Cluster replication resync metrics
	globalSiteResyncMetrics *siteResyncMetrics

	// Is set to true when Bucket federation is requested
	// and is 'true' when etcdConfig.PathPrefix is empty
	globalBucketFederation bool

	// Allocated DNS config wrapper over etcd client.
	globalDNSConfig dns.Store
