etcd v3.6.0 has been released, almost 4 years after 3.5.0. It’s a big step forward. etcd-operator v0.1.0 is also now available and promises to greatly improve the usability and operability of etcd.

We will dive into all the new exciting features in 3.6, like downgrade support, v2store deprecation and performance improvement. We’ll also provide an upgrade checklist and highlight changes users need to make before upgrading to the 3.6 release.
