I'm going out on a limb to say you've only ever used hosted Kubernetes, then. A sibling comment mentioned their need for vanity tooling to babysit etcd and my experience was similar.
If you are running single node etcd, that would also explain why you don't get it: you've been very, very, very, very lucky never to have that one node fail, and you've never had to resolve the very real problem of ending up with just two etcd nodes running
- solatic 1y agoNo, I ran three-node etcd clusters for years that Kops set up. Kops deployed an etcd-operator to babysit them and take care of backups and the like. It was set-and-forget. We had controlled disruptions all the time as part of Kubernetes control plane updates, no issues. And you know... etcd supports five-node clusters, precisely to help support people who are paranoid about extended single node failure.
