ETCD is the heart of a Kubernetes cluster, acting as the primary datastore where all cluster states, configurations, and secrets are stored. Given the critical role ETCD plays, it’s essential to ensure that it is properly backed up and restored when needed to maintain cluster availability and integrity. In this podcast, we will explore the significance of ETCD in Kubernetes, why backing it up is crucial, and how to perform and restore backups using etcdctl. We will also cover best practices for managing ETCD backups to ensure smooth recovery during disaster scenarios.
