This command is used to start the etcd service with specific configuration options. Here's an explanation of the command and its arguments:

  • etcd: This is the executable command that starts the etcd service.
  • --advertise-client-urls: This option specifies the URLs on which the etcd cluster will advertise itself to clients. In this case, it is set to ${http:--127-0-0-1:1234}, which means the etcd cluster will advertise itself on http://127.0.0.1:1234.
  • --listen-client-urls: This option specifies the URLs on which the etcd cluster will listen for client requests. In this case, it is also set to ${http:--127-0-0-1:1234}, which means the etcd cluster will listen for client requests on http://127.0.0.1:1234.

In summary, this command starts the etcd service, advertising itself on http://127.0.0.1:1234 and listening for client requests on the same URL.
