Hi,
When I run kubectl get cs
I see etcd-0
running. Is this etcd
the shared k/v store or is it something else? I ask because even though I see the service I don’t see any indication that I can interact with it.
➜ ~ kubectl get cs
NAME STATUS MESSAGE ERROR
controller-manager Healthy ok
scheduler Healthy ok
etcd-0 Healthy {"health":"true"}

The etcd-0 is in fact the component for the key/value store within the cluster. This is not accessible for general use. If you need a key/value store, you should deploy your own deployment or stateful set to provide the service for your workload. Some of the kube-system components leverage this instance for operation within the cluster in addition to the cluster operation itself.
