Getting Started

Follow these instructions to install, run, and test etcd with etcd-operator in a Kubernetes cluster.

Pre-requisites:

• kubectl
• Kubernetes cluster and kubectl configured to use it
  • If you don’t have a Kubernetes cluster, you can use kind to create a local one
• cert-manager installed in the cluster

1. Install etcd-operator:

   kubectl apply -f https://github.com/aenix-io/etcd-operator/releases/latest/download/etcd-operator.yaml
   

2. Check the operator is running:

   kubectl get pods -n etcd-operator-system -l control-plane=controller-manager
   

3. Create a simple etcd cluster:

   kubectl apply -f https://github.com/aenix-io/etcd-operator/raw/main/examples/manifests/etcdcluster-simple.yaml
   

   Caution: by default emptyDir storage is used. It means such cluster configuration is not intended for long-term storage.

4. Check the etcd cluster is running:

   kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=etcd-operator
