Etcd v3.6, released earlier this year, brings significant features compelling enough to upgrade. This session will provide a detailed overview of the new features and performance improvement over v3.5. We will also discuss known issues and workarounds for upgrading and how it will benefit you.

Next, we will present the long-awaited community-supported etcd-operator which will become the standard way to deploy your etcd clusters on Kubernetes for your bespoke use cases.
Finally, we will share how our in-house robustness test framework has improved etcd's reliability.

This talk will give you a chance to be excited about the future of etcd, and connect you with opportunities to contribute to the project.
