## Etcd modules
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
etcd modules (mods) are higher order pieces of functionality that only

|
|
|
speak to the client etcd API and are presented in the `/mod` HTTP path
|

|
|
|
of the etcd service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The basic idea is that etcd can ship things like dashboards, master
|
|
|
|
|
election APIs and other helpful services that would normally have to
|
|
|
|
|
stand up and talk to an etcd cluster directly in the binary. It is a
|
|
|
|
|
convienence and hopefully eases complexity in deployments.
