Hello Everyone, During the CKA exam if we were asked to take the backup of etcd . . .

Swaminathan V:
Hello Everyone, During the CKA exam if we were asked to take the backup of etcd cluster, are the etcdctl pre-installed and setup already or should we install and take a backup during the exam? Please advice

Tej_Singh_Rana:
Hello, @Swaminathan V
etcdctl tool should be pre-installed.

Swaminathan V:
Thanks @Tej_Singh_Rana. I read somewhere that etcdctl will not be available on master and only on worker node. Should we initiate backup and restore from there? please advice and TIA.

Sanjay Kumar:
Or do we need take backup from the node-1 itself if yes, then will the certs access be there which are needed to get the backup.
