etcd Pod Generator

The etcd-pod-gen tool generates a set of pod manifests for deploying a static etcd cluster under the Kubernetes Kubelet manifest directory. The generated templates can be used as a starting point for creating your own pod manifests for a production etcd cluster.

Install

Darwin

$ wget https://github.com/kelseyhightower/etcd-pod-gen/releases/download/0.0.1/etcd-pod-gen-darwin
$ chmod +x etcd-pod-gen-darwin
$ sudo mv etcd-pod-gen-darwin /usr/local/bin/etcd-pod-gen

Linux

$ wget https://github.com/kelseyhightower/etcd-pod-gen/releases/download/0.0.1/etcd-pod-gen-linux
$ chmod +x etcd-pod-gen-linux
$ sudo mv etcd-pod-gen-linux /usr/local/bin/etcd-pod-gen

Usage

$ etcd-pod-gen <settings>

Example

Create a settings file:

cat <<EOF > aws-settings.yaml
image: "b.gcr.io/kuar/etcd:2.2.0"
cluster_token: "cluster0"
cloud_provider: "aws"
members:
  - name: "etcd0"
    advertise_client_urls: "http://10.0.0.1:2379"
    initial_advertise_peer_urls: "http://10.0.0.1:2380"
    data_volume_id: "vol-1234data0"
    wal_volume_id: "vol-1234wal0"
  - name: "etcd1"
    advertise_client_urls: "http://10.0.0.2:2379"
    initial_advertise_peer_urls: "http://10.0.0.2:2380"
    data_volume_id: "vol-1234data1"
    wal_volume_id: "vol-1234wal1"
  - name: "etcd2"
    advertise_client_urls: "http://10.0.0.2:2379"
    initial_advertise_peer_urls: "http://10.0.0.2:2380"
    data_volume_id: "vol-1234data2"
    wal_volume_id: "vol-1234wal2"

Generate Kubernetes pod configs:

$ etcd-pod-gen aws-settings.yaml

wrote etcd0-pod.yaml
wrote etcd1-pod.yaml
wrote etcd2-pod.yaml

Results:

$ cat etcd0-pod.yaml
