# Bootstrapping the etcd Cluster
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes components are stateless and store cluster state in [etcd](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd). In this lab you will bootstrap a three node etcd cluster and configure it for high availability and secure remote access.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
The commands in this lab must be run on each controller instance: `controller-0`, `controller-1`, and `controller-2`. Login to each controller instance using the `gcloud` command. Example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
gcloud compute ssh controller-0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running commands in parallel with tmux
|
|
|
|
[tmux](https://tmux.github.io/) can be used to run commands on multiple compute instances at the same time. See the [Running commands in parallel with tmux](./01-prerequisites.md#running-commands-in-parallel-with-tmux) section in the Prerequisites lab.

## Bootstrapping an etcd Cluster Member
|
|
|
|
### Download and Install the etcd Binaries
|
|
|
|
Download the official etcd release binaries from the [etcd](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd) GitHub project:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl --location --remote-name --time-cond etcd-v3.5.12-linux-amd64.tar.gz \
|
|
https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/releases/download/v3.5.12/etcd-v3.5.12-linux-amd64.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Extract and install the `etcd` server and the `etcdctl` command line utility:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tar --extract --file etcd-v3.5.12-linux-amd64.tar.gz --verbose
|
|
|
|
sudo cp etcd-v3.5.12-linux-amd64/etcd* /usr/local/bin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Configure the etcd Server
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo mkdir --parents /etc/etcd /var/lib/etcd
|
|
|
|
sudo chmod 0700 /etc/etcd/ /var/lib/etcd/
|
|
|
|
sudo cp ca.pem kubernetes-key.pem kubernetes.pem /etc/etcd/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The instance internal IP address will be used to serve client requests and communicate with etcd cluster peers. Retrieve the internal IP address for the current compute instance:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
INTERNAL_IP="$(curl --silent --header 'Metadata-Flavor: Google' \
|
|
http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/network-interfaces/0/ip)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each etcd member must have a unique name within an etcd cluster. Set the etcd name to match the hostname of the current compute instance:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ETCD_NAME="$(hostname --short)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create the `etcd.service` systemd unit file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo mkdir --parents /usr/local/lib/systemd/system
|
|
|
|
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/etcd.service

### Start the etcd Server
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now etcd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> Remember to run the above commands on each controller node: `controller-0`, `controller-1`, and `controller-2`.
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
List the etcd cluster members:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl member list \
|
|
--cacert /etc/etcd/ca.pem \
|
|
--cert /etc/etcd/kubernetes.pem \
|
|
--endpoints https://127.0.0.1:2379 \
|
|
--key /etc/etcd/kubernetes-key.pem
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> output
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
