etcd is a key-value database commonly deployed with distributed systems.[1] The software is used by Kubernetes. It is written in the Go programming language and published under the Apache License 2.0.

History

[edit]

etcd was originally developed as part of the CoreOS project, who then later donated the project to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.[2]

Architecture

[edit]

The software consists of three executables:[2]

  • etcd
  • etcdctl
  • etcdutl

On particular database entries, locks can be set to prevent writing by other entities while it is being used.[2]
