I was first introduced to etcd about a year ago, when client showed me that it could be used for central configuration of servers. etcd 2.0 was recently released, and includes a number of features that make it even more attractive for production machines. In this talk, Brandon Philips (@brandonphilips) introduces etcd for those people who are new to it, describes how and where it can be used, and talks about the features that have been added in the latest release.
