KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2026

Whether you know it or not, as a Kubernetes user, you are also an etcd user. Join us to learn a little about the SIG and database, followed by recent changes and etcd’s future roadmap.

First, we’ll fill the audience in about etcd and its place in the Cloud Native universe. Then, we'll go over changes to etcd in the last year, including 3.4 downgrade support, the v3store migration (and problems), performance enhancements, livez/readyz, and more. We'll even have a few demos. Next, we'll talk about the v3.7 roadmap, including image registry update, range stream, RAFT async writes, and diagnostic tooling. We'll also provide an update on the robustness tests and Go workspace support. We’ll also share our progress on building the official etcd operator.

Attendees will not only learn about the state of etcd, but also how to contribute.
