# 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

		return nil, err
	}
	core.SetAppInfo("minio-federated", ReleaseTag)
	return core, nil
}

// Check if the destination bucket is on a remote site, this code only gets executed
// when federation is enabled, ie when globalDNSConfig is non 'nil'.
//
// This function is similar to isRemoteCallRequired but specifically for COPY object API

## Introduction

MinIO supports the standard AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity STS API to enable integration with OIDC/OpenID based identity provider environments. This allows the generation of temporary credentials with pre-defined access policies for applications/users to interact with MinIO object storage.

- 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

Kubernetes as stateful containers with local storage (JBOD/JBOF) mapped as persistent local volumes. This architecture enables multi-tenant MinIO, allowing isolation of data between customers.

MinIO also supports multi-cluster, multi-site federation similar to AWS regions and tiers. Using MinIO Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), you can configure data to be tiered between NVMe based hot storage, and HDD based warm storage. All data is encrypted with per-object key.
