# 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

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....

	s := mem[0:5] // there is 1 element beyond len(s), within cap(s)

	s = Delete(s, 2, 4)

	if mem[3] != nil || mem[4] != nil {
		// Check that potential memory leak is avoided
		t.Errorf("Delete: want nil discarded elements, got %v, %v", mem[3], mem[4])
	}
	if mem[5] == nil {
		t.Errorf("Delete: want unchanged elements beyond original len, got nil")
	}
}

// and it shadows the predeclared identifier int which then cannot be used
// anymore as expected.
// This is no different from locally re-declaring a predeclared identifier
// and usually should be avoided. There are some notable exceptions; e.g.,
// sometimes it makes sense to use the identifier "copy" which happens to
// also be the name of a predeclared built-in function.
