|
|
||
|
etcd is a distributed, consistent key-value store for shared configuration and service discovery, with a focus on being:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* *Simple*: well-defined, user-facing API (gRPC)
|
||
|
* *Secure*: automatic TLS with optional client cert authentication
|
||
|
* *Fast*: benchmarked 10,000 writes/sec
|
||
|
* *Reliable*: properly distributed using Raft
|
||
|
|
||
|
etcd is written in Go and uses the [Raft][raft] consensus algorithm to manage a highly-available replicated log.
|
||
|
|
||
|
etcd is used [in production by many companies](./Documentation/production-users.md), and the development team stands behind it in critical deployment scenarios, where etcd is frequently teamed with applications such as [Kubernetes][k8s], [fleet][fleet], [locksmith][locksmith], [vulcand][vulcand], [Doorman][doorman], and many others. Reliability is further ensured by rigorous [testing][etcd-tests].
|
||
|
|
||
|
See [etcdctl][etcdctl] for a simple command line client.

## Getting started
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Getting etcd
|
||
|
|
||
|
The easiest way to get etcd is to use one of the pre-built release binaries which are available for OSX, Linux, Windows, AppC (ACI), and Docker. Instructions for using these binaries are on the [GitHub releases page][github-release].
|
||
|
|
||
|
For those wanting to try the very latest version, you can [build the latest version of etcd][dl-build] from the `master` branch.
|
||
|
You will first need [*Go*](https://golang.org/) installed on your machine (version 1.6+ is required).
|
||
|
All development occurs on `master`, including new features and bug fixes.
|
||
|
Bug fixes are first targeted at `master` and subsequently ported to release branches, as described in the [branch management][branch-management] guide.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[github-release]: https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/
|
||
|
[branch-management]: ./Documentation/branch_management.md
|
||
|
[dl-build]: ./Documentation/dl_build.md#build-the-latest-version
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Running etcd
|
||
|
|
||
|
First start a single-member cluster of etcd:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
./bin/etcd
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will bring up etcd listening on port 2379 for client communication and on port 2380 for server-to-server communication.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Next, let's set a single key, and then retrieve it:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl put mykey "this is awesome"
|
||
|
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl get mykey
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
That's it! etcd is now running and serving client requests. For more

### etcd TCP ports
|
||
|
|
||
|
The [official etcd ports][iana-ports] are 2379 for client requests, and 2380 for peer communication.
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
### Running a local etcd cluster
|
||
|
|
||
|
First install [goreman](https://github.com/mattn/goreman), which manages Procfile-based applications.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Our [Procfile script](./Procfile) will set up a local example cluster. Start it with:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```sh
|
||
|
goreman start
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will bring up 3 etcd members `infra1`, `infra2` and `infra3` and etcd proxy `proxy`, which runs locally and composes a cluster.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Every cluster member and proxy accepts key value reads and key value writes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Running etcd on Kubernetes
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want to run etcd cluster on Kubernetes, try [etcd operator](https://github.com/coreos/etcd-operator).
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Next steps
