Marek Siarkowicz and Wenjia Zhang discuss etcd, its recent change to become a Special Interest Group, and how to learn etcd. They explore the role of etcd as a key value store in Kubernetes, the importance of storage and data, learning about HCD and clusters for the certified Kubernetes administrator exam, contributing to the etcd community, and the functionality and limitations of the queue tool for Kubernetes.
ETCD is a key-value store that serves as a backend for Kubernetes, storing and managing every change and operation made within the system.
ETCD recently became a Special Interest Group (SIG) in the Kubernetes community, highlighting its importance and role in the ecosystem.
Deep dives
Graduation to Beta: Carpenter, the Node Lifecycle Manager
The open-source tool Carpenter, a node lifecycle manager for Kubernetes, has graduated to beta. Introduced by AWS in 2021, Carpenter has gained nearly 5,000 stars on GitHub and is being donated to the CNCF under the auto-scaling SIG.
Release 1.0 of the Gateway API Announced by Kubernetes SIG Network
The Kubernetes SIG Network has announced the release of version 1.0 of the Gateway API. This milestone includes key APIs such as Gateway, Gateway class, and HTTP route, which have now reached general availability. Congratulations to the community, maintainers, and contributors on this achievement!
Introducing Ingress to Gateway CLI
The Kubernetes community has released a new CLI tool called Ingress to Gateway. This tool allows for the conversion from Ingress to the new Gateway API objects. By running the CLI, users can connect to the cluster, load all Ingress objects, and generate the equivalent YAML manifest using Gateway API resources.
Learning About ETCD: Key Features and History
The podcast episode discusses ETCD, a key-value store that serves as a backend for Kubernetes. ETCD is the brain behind Kubernetes, storing and managing every change and operation made within the system. The episode explores ETCD's significance, its history from CoreOS, and the decision to become a SIG in the Kubernetes community.
Guests are Marek Siarkowicz , Senior Software Engineer in Google Cloud, Tech Lead of SIG-etcd AND Wenjia Zhang, Engineering Manager in Google Cloud, Co-Chair of SIG-etcd, Google. We spoke about the project, the recent change to become a Special Interest Group and how to learn etcd.
