Setting up an etcd cluster in AWS using CoreOS
Now that you have learned where etcd used and had some fun playing with an online etcd cluster simulator, let's move on and create our own etcd cluster in Amazon EC2 using CoreOS (a lightweight operational system designed for massive deployments using container based solutions). Go to this CoreOS web page and inside stable channel, find us-east-1 region (North Virginia) and select the ami related with HVM (this kind of Amazon Linux Images is suited for many different EC2 mach
