Configuration items specific to Spilo are listed here.

Postgres WAL S3 bucket

ETCD Discovery Domain

What domain to use for etcd discovery.

Example: team.example.com

The supplied domain will be prefixed with _etcd-server-ssl._tcp. or _etcd-server._tcp. to resolve a dns SRV record. This record contains the IP-addresses and ports of the etcd cluster. Example output:

$ dig +noall +answer SRV _etcd-server._tcp.tutorial.team.example.com
_etcd-server._tcp.tutorial.team.example.com. 60 IN      SRV 1 1 2380 ip-172-31-152-102.eu-west-1.compute.internal.
_etcd-server._tcp.tutorial.team.example.com. 60 IN      SRV 1 1 2380 ip-172-31-152-103.eu-west-1.compute.internal.
_etcd-server._tcp.tutorial.team.example.com. 60 IN      SRV 1 1 2380 ip-172-31-161-166.eu-west-1.compute.internal.
_etcd-server._tcp.tutorial.team.example.com. 60 IN      SRV 1 1 2380 ip-172-31-131-14.eu-west-1.compute.internal.
_etcd-server._tcp.tutorial.team.example.com. 60 IN      SRV 1 1 2380 ip-172-31-131-15.eu-west-1.compute.internal.
