What Is Etcd and How Do You Set Up an Etcd Cluster?

Etcd is an open-source distributed key-value store created by the CoreOS team, now managed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It is pronounced “et-cee-dee”, making reference to distributing the Unix “/etc” directory, where most global configuration files live, across multiple machines. It serves as the backbone of many distributed systems, providing a reliable way for storing data across a cluster of servers.

In an ideal world, we get everything right the first time, nothing breaks, no one DDOS’ us, and the weather report is “Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs.” Reality of course is different – and better, to be honest.

Introduction to Kubernetes Namespaces

Kubernetes clusters can manage large numbers of unrelated workloads concurrently and organizations often choose to deploy projects created by separate teams to shared clusters. Even with relatively light use, the number of deployed objects can quickly become unmanageable, slowing down operational responsiveness and increasing the chance of dangerous mistakes.
