etcd is notoriously unreliable and one of the biggest problems in k8s.
I didn't know Go just isn't a good language for it, but now that I know I'm no longer surprised at etcd being problematic.
- preisschild 2mo agoHaving maintained multiple etcd clusters for self-managed kubernetes the last few years I disagree with the "problematic" characterization. Sure it may not be the best fit in a scenario where you want a cluster spanned over the entire globe (thats why GKE uses paxos-based Spanner instead of it) , but even spanned across an entire continent (in europe via glass fiber) it works quite well for me. Its one of the least problematic parts of the stack.
- Manfrednotfunny 2mo agoI'm running big k8s cluster and my small ones at home for 8 years, never had an etcd issue. Could you elaborate?
