# 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

# How to secure access to MinIO on Kubernetes with TLS [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

This document explains how to configure MinIO server with TLS certificates on Kubernetes.

## 1. Prerequisites

- Familiarity with [MinIO deployment process on Kubernetes](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/installation.html).

- Kubernetes cluster with `kubectl` configured.

Buckets can be configured to have `Hard` quota - it disallows writes to the bucket after configured quota limit is reached.

MinIO server allows to throttle incoming requests:

- limit the number of active requests allowed across the cluster
- limit the wait duration for each request in the queue

# Object Lock and Immutablity Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

MinIO server allows WORM for specific objects or by configuring a bucket with default object lock configuration that applies default retention mode and retention duration to all objects. This makes objects in the bucket immutable i.e. delete of the version are not allowed until an expiry specified in the bucket's object lock configuration or object retention.

Deploying a Gateway to be used as an [Egress Gateway](https://istio.io/latest/docs/tasks/traffic-management/egress/egress-gateway/):

```yaml
service:
  # Egress gateways do not need an external LoadBalancer IP
  type: ClusterIP
```

#### Multi-network/VM Gateway

Deploying a Gateway to be used as a [Multi-network Gateway](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/install/multicluster/) for network `network-1`:

```yaml

# KMS Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

MinIO uses a key-management-system (KMS) to support SSE-S3. If a client requests SSE-S3, or auto-encryption is enabled, the MinIO server encrypts each object with an unique object key which is protected by a master key managed by the KMS.

# MinIO STS Quickstart Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io)

The MinIO Security Token Service (STS) is an endpoint service that enables clients to request temporary credentials for MinIO resources. Temporary credentials work almost identically to default admin credentials, with some differences:

all CRDs to be present. On each upgrade it is recommended to reapply the file, to make sure
you get all CRDs.  CRDs are separated by release and by component type in the CRD directory.

Istio has strong integration with certmanager.  Some operators may want to keep their current certmanager
