Embedded etcd


Pro Feature

This feature is available in the vCluster Pro tier. Contact us for more details and to start a trial.

etcd is deployed with vCluster to reduce the overall footprint while still providing the advantages of etcd.

You can migrate from an external etcd instance to the embedded one by configuring migrateFromDeployedEtcd: true as shown below. However, by default, enabled is set to false, and migrateFromDeployedEtcd is also set to false.

After deploying your vCluster, changing the backing store of vCluster is not supported.
