## Standalone Deployment
This topic provides commands to set up different configurations of hosts, nodes, and drives. The examples provided here can be used as a starting point for other configurations.
To host multiple tenants on a single machine, run one Minio server per tenant with dedicated HTTPS port, config and data directory.
#### Example 1 : Single host, single drive

## Distributed Deployment
## < a name = "distributed-deployment" > < / a > 2. Distributed Deployment
To host multiple tenants in a distributed environment, run several distributed Minio instances concurrently.
#### Example 1 : Multiple host, multiple drives (erasure code)
To host multiple tenants in a distributed environment, run several distributed Minio Server instances concurrently.
This example hosts 3 tenants on a 4 node distributed setup. Execute the following command on all the four nodes.
### 2.1 Host Multiple Tenants on Multiple Drives (Erasure Code)
Use the following commands to host 3 tenants on a 4-node distributed configuration:
```sh
```sh
export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=< TENANT1_ACCESS_KEY >
export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=< TENANT1_ACCESS_KEY >

**Note:** Execute the commands on all 4 nodes.
*Note*
Please remember that defining and exporting credential environment variables, `MINIO_ACCESS_KEY` and `MINIO_SECRET_KEY` , is **mandatory** on distributed deployments. It is also required to define and export domain environment variable, `MINIO_DOMAIN` , if domain information is needed to be set.

## Cloud Scale Deployment
For large scale multi-tenant Minio deployments, we recommend using one of the popular container orchestration platforms, e.g. Kubernetes, DC/OS or Docker Swarm. Refer [this document ](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-deployment-quickstart-guide ) to get started with Minio on orchestration platforms.
**Note**: On distributed systems, credentials must be defined and exported using the `MINIO_ACCESS_KEY` and `MINIO_SECRET_KEY` environment variables. If a domain is required, it must be specified by defining and exporting the `MINIO_DOMAIN` environment variable.

A container orchestration platform (e.g. Kubernetes, DC/OS, or Docker Swarm) is recommended for large-scale, multi-tenant Minio deployments. See the [Minio Deployment Quickstart Guide ](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-deployment-quickstart-guide ) to get started with Minio on orchestration platforms.
