GKE managed etcd

Question

I looked for and couldn't find any answers to basic questions about GKE: - if it is managed k8s does that mean etcd used for storing resources is also fully managed - how updates and backup on etcd is assured - what are the limits? What if I have 50000 different resources, most coming from my CRDs

Do you know any official resources that I can refer to and be sure this is really this way?

Answer 1

Yes, etcd is managed and all that it comes with it. There aren't very specific limits defined in the official docs although 300,000 containers should give you a pretty rough idea.

If you have any specific needs, for example, hundreds of Deployments, or ConfigMaps, I would contact GCP support with your specific case.
