This new version uses <a href="http://github.com/coreos/etcd">Etcd</a> as its backend. This blog post will walk you through the installation and shows how to use it.</p> <h2 id="what">What?!</h2> <p>SkyDNS(2) is a service discovery tool that utilizes the DNS to find hosts in a distributed environment. But using DNS means &ldquo;legacy&rdquo; clients can be used. Want to know if you MariaDB cluster is still up? <code>ping mariadb.skydns.local</code> can be used for that. By default SkyDNS will use <code>skydns.local.</code> as the domain to anchor all names.</p>
