Embedded etcd

Enterprise-Only Feature

This feature is an Enterprise feature. See our pricing plans or contact our sales team for more information.

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.
