Adds the full user-guide set for KubeDB's new etcd database support, following the existing site structure and style (ZooKeeper/Ignite/Qdrant as the closest structural templates — etcd is single-mode, quorum/consensus-based, no arbiter/topology-switch complexity).

Important: not yet verified against a live cluster

This is a deliberate, user-approved exception to the normal "docs must be live-tested" rule. The etcd operator's images (etcd-operator, etcd-ops, etcd-restic-plugin) only exist as open, unmerged PRs — there is nothing installable to test against yet. Every page carries an HTML comment (<!-- Drafted from source code and CRD schemas; not yet verified against a live cluster. -->) right after its front matter, so this is traceable and greppable. All commands/YAML are correct against the real CRD schemas; illustrative "expected output" blocks use real, code-grounded resource/condition names but generic timestamps/UIDs — nothing was fabricated as if it were a captured run. This should get a real live-cluster pass once images are built and published, per the refresher workflow (kubedb.dev/prompt-library/docs/refresher/common.md).

Coverage

  • Concepts: Etcd, EtcdVersion, EtcdOpsRequest (all 12 op types, including the three etcd-native ones with no analog elsewhere: MoveLeader, Defragment, Compact), EtcdAutoscaler, EtcdArchiver, AppBinding
  • Quickstart, custom configuration (spec.configuration.tuning — the only supported reconfigure path, no mounted config file)
  • TLS + ReconfigureTLS, Monitoring (builtin + Prometheus Operator — etcd has no exporter sidecar, native metrics on port 2381)
  • Restart, Reconfigure, Rotate Authentication
  • Scaling: vertical + horizontal (the horizontal-scaling page is the most important one — documents the real learner-add → catch-up → promote sequencing, one membership mutation per reconcile pass)
  • Volume Expansion, Storage Migration, Update Version
  • Autoscaler (compute + storage), Recommendation Engine
  • Maintenance (new section): MoveLeader, Defragment, Compact — etcd's own built-in maintenance RPCs, no precedent elsewhere in this docs repo
  • Backup/Restore (KubeStash) — snapshot-only, explicitly no PITR/continuous archiving
  • Custom RBAC, private registry, GitOps

Real gaps/bugs found while writing (worth separate follow-up PRs)

Each writer verified against the actual kubedb.dev/etcd/ops-manager/apimachinery source rather than trusting assumptions, and surfaced several real issues along the way:

  1. kubedb.dev/etcd's stats Service targets the wrong port (pkg/controller/service.go: TargetPort is the client port 2379, not the metrics port 2381) — would break Prometheus scraping once TLS is enabled.
  2. The metrics-exporter TLS cert is issued but never consumed--listen-metrics-urls is hard-coded to plain HTTP in petset.go, so the metrics endpoint is unencrypted regardless of spec.tls.
  3. EtcdAutoscaler has no defaulting webhook in apimachinery — usageThreshold/scalingThreshold aren't defaulted, and scalingThreshold isn't synthesized into scalingRules, which is what the storage recommender actually reads.
  4. EtcdMemberAdded/EtcdMemberRemoved are declared as condition-type constants but never actually set by the operator (only EtcdLearnerPromoted is used) — docs describe the real behavior, not the aspirational one.
  5. Minor: EtcdLeaderMoved is only set by the standalone MoveLeader ops type; a Restart that has to move leadership off the evicted pod records MoveLeader--<pod> instead — docs reflect this.

Verification done (without a cluster)

Front matter and example YAML parse cleanly across all 131 new files; every internal /docs/... link resolves to a file that exists; no menu-identifier or sibling-weight collisions.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ad90d

This documentation PR introduces the etcd user-guide set, but the current head still contains actionable examples and instructions that can fail or mislead users, including unreachable monitoring, invalid storage and RBAC prerequisites, unsafe credential/TLS guidance, backup/restore hazards, and incorrect upgrade or scaling procedures. Because these issues can cause failed deployments, security mistakes, or recovery failures, it is not merge-ready until the affected guidance is corrected or explicitly accepted by owners.

Do not restore the source manifest repository into the source namespace.

sample-etcd-manifest contains the source Etcd object and companion objects. This example creates restored-etcd in the same demo namespace while sample-etcd remains present. The guide also states that Etcd manifests cannot be renamed or filtered. The restore can apply sample-etcd and sample-etcd-auth instead of resources for restored-etcd, or fail on name collisions. Use an isolated restore namespace with a tested mapping, or remove manifestRepository and document the credential path.

Do not recommend leaf rotation for a compromised key.

rotateCertificates: true reissues certificates under the same issuer and CA. It does not invalidate an issued certificate or a stolen client or peer key. Limit this guidance to certificate expiry, or document CA replacement as the response to key compromise. If CRL-based revocation is documented, include the required CRL settings and a supported etcd version; this guide uses etcd 3.6.4, which predates the 3.6.13 CRL enforcement fix.

Do not promise availability for CA replacement.

ReconfigureTLS reissues all certificates with the new issuer before the rolling restart. etcd does not reload --peer-trusted-ca-file dynamically. The first restarted member can therefore trust the new CA while the remaining members still use old-CA peer certificates. Mutual TLS fails, and the quorum gate can block the operation.

Add a staged migration with an old/new CA bundle, peer and client certificate rotation, and a later removal of the old CA. Require external clients to trust the new CA before server certificates change. Remove the blanket no-downtime claim for issuer changes in both affected locations.

Major comments:
In `@docs/examples/etcd/backup/restored-etcd.yaml`:
- Around line 25-27: Update the restored-etcd manifest configuration to avoid
restoring the source manifest repository into the demo namespace: either use an
isolated restore namespace with a verified manifest mapping, or remove
manifestRepository and document the required credential path. Preserve creation
of restored-etcd without collisions with sample-etcd or its companion objects.

In `@docs/examples/etcd/custom-configuration/etcd-custom-config.yaml`:
- Around line 9-16: Make the StorageClass prerequisite explicit for every
affected snippet:
docs/examples/etcd/custom-configuration/etcd-custom-config.yaml lines 9-16,
docs/guides/etcd/custom-configuration/using-config.md lines 23-29 and 134-140,
and docs/examples/etcd/autoscaling/compute/etcd.yaml lines 9-16. Document that
the referenced storage class must exist and add the appropriate validation
command, or replace standard with a documented class available in the target
cluster; keep all PVC storage configuration consistent across these sites.

In `@docs/examples/etcd/custom-rbac/etcd-custom-role.yaml`:
- Around line 1-14: Update the Role definition and associated guide steps to
remove the obsolete policy/podsecuritypolicies use rule and document a supported
Pod Security Admission or equivalent policy. If retaining legacy
PodSecurityPolicy instructions, explicitly scope them to Kubernetes versions
before v1.25.

In `@docs/examples/etcd/maintenance/compact-revision.yaml`:
- Around line 10-12: The compaction example uses a potentially invalid
hard-coded revision. Update docs/examples/etcd/maintenance/compact-revision.yaml
lines 10-12 and docs/guides/etcd/maintenance/compact.md lines 137-160 to obtain
and show a known current revision before the kubectl create command, or use
compact: {} for execution-time compaction; ensure both sites consistently avoid
revisions greater than the current etcd revision.

In `@docs/examples/etcd/monitoring/prom-config.yaml`:
- Around line 47-51: Remove the address-replacement rule using the
__meta_kubernetes_service_annotation_prometheus_io_port label so the discovered

guide to include DataRestored, matching the documented DataRestoring phase and
existing condition terminology.
- Line 18: Replace every generic “[here]” link label with descriptive
destination-specific text: in docs/guides/etcd/README.md:18 use the KubeDB
getting-started guide label; in docs/guides/etcd/concepts/etcd.md:15, 329, 368,
376, 418, 454, and 499 use labels for the KubeDB introduction, X.509 name
reference, pod template API, Kubernetes resources, Kubernetes node assignment,
service template API, and deletion-policy documentation respectively; at 559-560
use each linked guide’s name; and in docs/guides/etcd/concepts/appbinding.md:15
and 101 use labels for the KubeDB introduction and database guide respectively.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/recommendation/recommendation.md`:
- Line 359: Update the kubectl example in the recommendation documentation by
removing the leading shell prompt, or add representative command output beneath
it so the prompt is justified; keep the command and its intent unchanged.
- Line 15: Replace the generic link labels with descriptive target-specific
labels: update docs/guides/etcd/recommendation/recommendation.md:15 and
docs/guides/etcd/quickstart/quickstart.md:15 to identify /docs/README.md, and
docs/guides/etcd/quickstart/quickstart.md:25 to identify /docs/setup/README.md.
- Line 53: Update the “Reconfigure TLS” link in the recommendation document to
target the reconfigure-tls overview guide instead of the general TLS overview.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/reconfigure-tls/reconfigure-tls.md`:
- Around line 397-402: Update the replacement CA generation and etcd-new-ca
creation commands to use distinct filenames from the original ca.crt and ca.key,
preserving the original CA files for later client updates and rollback
instructions.
- Around line 297-303: Update the certificate request configuration to include
127.0.0.1 in the server certificate IP SANs, or change the endpoint health check
to use an endpoint already covered by the rendered certificate; keep the TLS
paths and health-check behavior unchanged.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/reconfigure/overview.md`:
- Line 44: Update the quotaBackendBytes description to state that exceeding the
limit raises a NOSPACE alarm and puts etcd into maintenance mode, where normal
writes are rejected but key reads and deletes remain accepted; replace the
inaccurate “goes read-only” wording.
- Around line 56-58: Update docs/guides/etcd/reconfigure/overview.md lines 56-58
to state that reconfiguration normally requires a restart, except when
spec.configuration.restart: "false" is set. Update
docs/guides/etcd/reconfigure/reconfigure.md lines 185-200 so the heading and
RestartEtcdPods statement are conditional while preserving that running members
retain their old flags until a later restart.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/restart/restart.md`:
- Line 15: Replace each generic “here” link label with destination-specific
text: in docs/guides/etcd/restart/restart.md lines 15, 41, and 120, name the
README, KubeDB setup guide, and EtcdOpsRequest timeout documentation
respectively; in docs/guides/etcd/concepts/etcdopsrequest.md lines 15, 290, 337,
and 537, name the README, Kubernetes resource-management documentation, Etcd TLS
documentation, and Etcd quickstart guide respectively.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/rotate-authentication/overview.md`:
- Around line 66-72: Align the authentication-rotation flow with the overview’s
timestamp contract: have UpdateDatabase set Etcd.spec.authSecret.activeFrom when
the staged credential is promoted, and ensure both rotateauth.md transcripts no
longer assign it during UpdateCredential. Update any related operator behavior
so the timestamp is written only after etcd accepts the new credential.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/scaling/horizontal-scaling/overview.md`:
- Around line 132-137: Correct the repeated scale-down quorum explanation in
docs/guides/etcd/scaling/horizontal-scaling/overview.md lines 132-137 and
docs/guides/etcd/scaling/horizontal-scaling/horizontal-scaling.md lines 394-397:
state that four live members in a five-member configuration still require three
votes, tolerate one additional failure, and lose quorum only after two
additional failures; clarify that changing from 3-of-5 to 3-of-4 does not reduce
the vote threshold, while reducing the configuration size reduces redundancy.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/storage-migration/overview.md`:
- Around line 71-74: Update the StorageMigration documentation’s spec.timeout
description to state that the timeout applies independently to each retried
migration step, not to the cumulative request duration; remove whole-request
timeout wording while retaining the requirement and data-copy Job guidance.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/storage-migration/storage-migration.md`:
- Around line 319-327: Update the “Cleaning Up” command list to explicitly
delete the cluster-scoped StorageClass resources longhorn-single and
longhorn-single-migrated, in addition to the existing namespace and namespaced
resource cleanup.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/tls/configure-ssl.md`:
- Around line 245-255: Update the TLS documentation text around the etcdctl
example to describe omitted --cert and --key as a mutual-TLS handshake failure
before etcd accepts the request, and align the explanation with the shown tls:
bad certificate error.
- Around line 200-216: Update the kubectl JSONPath command to iterate over the
selected container argument array with range and emit each argument separately,
replacing the comma-based tr pipeline while preserving the existing pod and
container selection.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/update-version/overview.md`:
- Line 15: Replace the generic link labels at
docs/guides/etcd/update-version/overview.md:15-15,
docs/guides/etcd/update-version/update-version.md:15-15,
docs/guides/etcd/reconfigure/overview.md:15-15, and
docs/guides/etcd/reconfigure/reconfigure.md:15-15 with descriptive text naming
the KubeDB getting-started destination; at
docs/guides/etcd/update-version/update-version.md:29-29 and
docs/guides/etcd/reconfigure/reconfigure.md:26-26, use descriptive text naming
the KubeDB installation guide while preserving the existing URLs.

In `@docs/guides/etcd/volume-expansion/volume-expansion.md`:
- Around line 64-66: Update the “Deploy Etcd” prose describing the initial
volume size to use “1Gi” consistently with the manifest, replacing the ambiguous
“1GB” wording while leaving the YAML unchanged.

Select the etcd container by name in the custom-configuration verification command. This guide permits sidecars, so .spec.containers[0].args can select a sidecar. Use .spec.containers[?(@.name=="etcd")].args and search for the expected flags. The recovery walkthrough defines only the etcd container, so its index-based command is valid for the shown manifest.

- README.md: fix the custom-configuration link (was pointing at reconfigure/overview.md)
- concepts/etcd.md: the client cert alias isn't used for metrics scraping (metrics
  stays plain HTTP unconditionally); hyphenate container-level
- custom-configuration/using-config.md: markdownlint fixes (fenced code language,
  drop the bare $ prompt in cleanup); select the etcd container by name rather
  than by index when reading back its args, since this guide's whole point is
  that spec.podTemplate can carry other containers too
- recover-from-quorum-loss/overview.md: state the quorum formula unambiguously
  as floor(N/2)+1 rather than N/2+1

Do not publish a reusable root password in the example.

The command and Secret manifest contain the same concrete password in clear text and Base64. Secret scanners detect this pattern, and users can copy the credential into multiple clusters. Generate a unique password at runtime and redact the manifest values.

- **The ops request sits in `Progressing` with `etcd learner promoted; ConditionStatus:False`.**
The new member is still replicating. Check its log (`kubectl logs -n demo etcd-cluster-3 -c etcd`)
and give the request a longer `spec.timeout`. Promotion happens once the learner's applied revision
reaches 90% of the leader's; a large keyspace or a slow disk simply takes longer.

"IsLearnerReady" KubeDB etcd MemberPromote applied revision

💡 Result:

In the context of etcd (which powers KubeDB's etcd clusters), isLearnerReady is an internal function used to determine if a learner member has sufficiently caught up with the leader's log to be safely promoted to a voting member [1]. When a new member is added to an etcd cluster as a learner, it receives data updates from the leader but does not participate in voting or quorum [2][1]. Before a learner can be promoted to a voting member using the member promote operation, the etcd server performs safety checks [2]. Specifically, the learner must be in sync with the leader [2]. The isLearnerReady check verifies whether the learner's progress (often measured by comparing its log index to the leader's) meets the required threshold—typically implemented as a check that the learner is nearly caught up (e.g., reaching a high percentage of the leader's current log index) [1]. If this condition is not met, the promote request will be rejected by the etcd server with an error, such as etcdserver: can only promote a learner member which is in sync with leader [2]. In Kubernetes-related tooling (like kubeadm or KubeDB management workflows), this promotion is often automated [3][4]. If the promotion logic attempts to execute before the learner is ready, or sends the request to the wrong endpoint (e.g., the learner node itself, which does not support the promotion API), the process will fail [3][4]. Robust implementations typically use a retry loop that waits until the learner is ready before attempting the promotion [3].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/kubedb "MemberAddAsLearner" "MemberPromote"

💡 Result:

Based on a search of the KubeDB project's apimachinery repository and related codebase, MemberAddAsLearner and MemberPromote are not standard, documented API methods within the public KubeDB or Kubernetes operator framework APIs [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The terms do not appear as recognized functions, methods, or API types in the official KubeDB apimachinery definitions [1][2][4]. While the KubeDB project frequently uses concepts like member, role, and replication for database operations (e.g., in MySQL Group Replication or Hazelcast clusters) [8][2][3], these specific identifiers do not match standard API operations provided in the project's generated clients or types [3][4][5][6]. If you encountered these terms in a specific context—such as a custom controller, a specific database technology plugin (e.g., for etcd or MySQL), or an internal script—they are likely internal implementation details rather than part of the public-facing KubeDB API surface.

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/etcd-io/etcd "IsLearnerReady" "0.9"

💡 Result:

In the context of the etcd project, IsLearnerReady is a method within the etcd server implementation used to determine whether a Raft learner node has sufficiently caught up with the leader to be eligible for promotion to a full voting member [1][2][3]. The method performs this check by comparing the learner's applied log index (or progress match index) to the leader's current match index [1][2][3]. A constant threshold, defined as readyPercentThreshold = 0.9, is used to ensure the learner has caught up to at least 90% of the leader's progress [1]. If the learner's readiness percentage is below this threshold, the method returns an error, typically ErrLearnerNotReady, preventing the promotion from proceeding [1][2][4]. This mechanism is critical for maintaining cluster stability during configuration changes, as it ensures that only nodes with an up-to-date state are promoted to voting members [1][4]. While the primary purpose is managing promotion, related logic (such as checking learner status) is also utilized in health and readiness probes to manage traffic and operations for nodes acting as learners [5][6].

Document the 90% learner-match threshold in docs/guides/etcd/concepts/etcd.md.

The promotion predicate allows promotion when the learner’s Progress.Match / leader.Progress.Match ratio reaches 0.9; it does not require equality. Use this criterion consistently in both Etcd guides.

Three rounds of etcd feature work landed after the initial etcd user
guides were written. This covers what is user-facing in them:

- New guide docs/guides/etcd/recover-from-quorum-loss/ for the
  RecoverFromQuorumLoss EtcdOpsRequest: the QuorumLost signal condition,
  the mandatory confirmMember handshake, what is destroyed, and when the
  procedure is the wrong tool.
- New guide docs/guides/etcd/restore/ for the Restore EtcdOpsRequest,
  which replaces the whole keyspace of an existing Etcd from a KubeStash
  snapshot, and how it differs from the bootstrap-time
  spec.init.archiver restore it reuses the mechanism of.
- concepts/etcdopsrequest.md: both new types in the spec.type table,
  full spec.recoverFromQuorumLoss and spec.restore sections, and their
  step conditions.
- custom-configuration/using-config.md: the extra etcd flags escape
  hatch through spec.podTemplate.spec.containers[name=etcd].args, its
  append-after/last-wins semantics and the flags not to override.
- Cross-links from the backup guides, EtcdArchiver, the Etcd CRD
  podTemplate section and the etcd README, plus example manifests.

Signed-off-by: Tamal Saha <tamal@appscode.com>
Cross-checked every YAML example, field path, condition name and behavioural
claim in docs/guides/etcd against kubedb.dev/etcd master, the vendored
apimachinery types and the EtcdOpsRequest/Etcd admission webhooks.

Schema errors:

- spec.podTemplate.spec has no args/env/resources members in offshoot-api v2.
  Dropped them from the settable-field list, replaced the
  "spec.podTemplate.spec.env" section with the container-level form, and fixed
  the singular "imagePullSecret" heading.
- The stats Service port defaults to 2381 for etcd, not the generic 56790:
  SetDefaults fills spec.monitor.prometheus.exporter.port from EtcdExporterPort
  before the shared monitoring defaults run.
- Default container resources are requests 500m/1Gi with a 2Gi memory limit, not
  a 1Gi limit.

Behaviour the operator does not have:

- No etcd-init init container is ever created; the provisioner only passes
  through user-supplied initContainers. EtcdVersion.spec.initContainer.image is
  therefore inert unless the user added such a container themselves.
- No metrics-exporter certificate is issued or mounted. The alias is accepted
  and defaulting even stamps an entry into spec.tls.certificates, but etcd's
  --listen-metrics-urls has no TLS flags, so the listener stays plain HTTP.
- status.phase never becomes DataRestoring: nothing sets the DataRestoreStarted
  condition, so a bootstrap restore stays in Provisioning. The restore condition
  type is SuccessfullyDataRestored, not DataRestored.
- The governing Service publishes 2379 and 2380 only, never 2381.
- spec.configuration.configSecret is accepted but never mounted; only
  applyConfig is rejected. A Reconfigure honours restart: "false".
- The upgrade path is enforced by the ops-manager, not by
  EtcdVersion.spec.updateConstraints, which nothing reads.
- KubeDB provisions an auth Secret but does not enable etcd RBAC, and a
  referenced RotateAuth Secret must name root.
- ScalePetSet is only ever written False, and humanize() renders IsPVCExpanded
  as "is p v c expanded".
- Step conditions are unconditional resume markers, not retry bookkeeping: they
  are written for every completed step, so the "you may not see them at all"
  notes were wrong in six places. Added the missing EtcdMemberAdded /
  EtcdMemberRemoved conditions and corrected when EtcdMemberListReady flips.
- Defragment has no 20 minute whole-request budget; spec.timeout is a per-step
  budget with a 10 minute default.
- Removed-member log lines print a decimal member ID, not hex.

Consistency:

- Added the missing Etcd entry to the guides index.
- Reconciled "restore is only possible at bootstrap time" with the Restore ops
  request added in the second pass.
- Normalised featureGates.Etcd (no global. prefix), replaced the catalog-absent
  3.6.5 examples, made the GitOps version update an actual version change, fixed
  a Ready that should be Critical, and pointed "Reconfigure TLS" at the
  reconfigure-tls overview.
- Made the quickstart DoNotTerminate walkthrough set the policy it demonstrates,
  and the RecoverFromQuorumLoss sample follow the two-step confirmation flow it
  documents.
- Completed the compact/move-leader/storage-migration cleanup sections and
  ordered the maintenance, monitoring, rotate-auth and autoscaler menu weights.
