This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview etcd is a strongly consistent, highly available, distributed key value store designed to reliably store the most critical data of a distributed system. It is the canonical state store behind Kubernetes, CoreDNS, OpenShift and many other distributed systems. This image delivers etcd fully installed and configured as a single node deployment with Role Based Access Control enabled, so a hardened key value service is running within minutes of launch.
Application Stack etcd 3.5 running as a native binary from the official etcd-io GitHub release. The client port 2379 serves applications; the peer port 2380 stays loopback only for the single node default. etcdctl is preinstalled at /usr/local/bin/etcdctl for command line management. The /health endpoint on port 2379 is anonymous by design so Kubernetes liveness and readiness probes work out of the box.
Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh per instance cloudimg user password and a separate emergency root password, writes them to a root only file, configures etcdctl Role Based Access Control, and refuses to leave authentication disabled. The advertise URL is rewritten with the instance address resolved from EC2 IMDSv2.
Ready To Use The etcd server, data directory, Role Based Access Control roles and systemd units are all configured. Point your distributed application at port 2379 with the cloudimg user, or sign in to the instance and use etcdctl to manage keys, roles and members directly.
