# Bootstrapping a H/A etcd cluster
In this lab you will bootstrap a 3 node etcd cluster. The following virtual machines will be used:
```
gcloud compute instances list
```
````
NAME ZONE MACHINE_TYPE PREEMPTIBLE INTERNAL_IP EXTERNAL_IP STATUS
etcd0 us-central1-f n1-standard-1 10.240.0.10 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX RUNNING
etcd1 us-central1-f n1-standard-1 10.240.0.11 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX RUNNING
etcd2 us-central1-f n1-standard-1 10.240.0.12 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX RUNNING
````
## Why
All Kubernetes components are stateless which greatly simplifies managing a Kubernetes cluster. All state is stored
in etcd, which is a database and must be treated special. etcd is being run on a dedicated set of machines for the
following reasons:
* The etcd lifecycle is not tied to Kubernetes. We should be able to upgrade etcd independently of Kubernetes.
* Scaling out etcd is different than scaling out the Kubernetes Control Plane.
* Prevent other applications from taking up resources (CPU, Memory, I/O) required by etcd.
## Provision the etcd Cluster
Run the following commands on `etcd0`, `etcd1`, `etcd2`:
> SSH into each machine using the `gcloud compute ssh` command
Move the TLS certificates in place:
```
sudo mkdir -p /etc/etcd/
```
```
sudo mv ca.pem kubernetes-key.pem kubernetes.pem /etc/etcd/
```
Download and install the etcd binaries:
```
wget https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/download/v3.0.1/etcd-v3.0.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
```
```
tar -xvf etcd-v3.0.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz
```
```
sudo cp etcd-v3.0.1-linux-amd64/etcdctl /usr/bin/
```
```
sudo cp etcd-v3.0.1-linux-amd64/etcd /usr/bin/
```
```
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/etcd
```
Create the etcd systemd unit file:
```
cat > etcd.service <<"EOF"
[Unit]
Description=etcd

export INTERNAL_IP=$(curl -s -H "Metadata-Flavor: Google" \
http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/network-interfaces/0/ip)
```
```
export ETCD_NAME=$(hostname -s)
```
```
sed -i s/INTERNAL_IP/$INTERNAL_IP/g etcd.service
```
```
sed -i s/ETCD_NAME/$ETCD_NAME/g etcd.service
```
```
sudo mv etcd.service /etc/systemd/system/
```
Start etcd:
```
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable etcd
sudo systemctl start etcd
```
### Verification
```
sudo systemctl status etcd --no-pager
```
## Verification
Once all 3 etcd nodes have been bootstrapped verify the etcd cluster is healthy:
```
gcloud compute ssh etcd0
```
```
etcdctl --ca-file=/etc/etcd/ca.pem cluster-health
```
```
member 3a57933972cb5131 is healthy: got healthy result from https://10.240.0.12:2379
member f98dc20bce6225a0 is healthy: got healthy result from https://10.240.0.10:2379
member ffed16798470cab5 is healthy: got healthy result from https://10.240.0.11:2379
cluster is healthy
