etcdctl:tldr:7fc73
The command "etcdctl user add ${my_user}" is used to add a new user to the etcd server using the etcdctl command-line tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"etcdctl": This is the command-line tool for interacting with the etcd server. It allows you to perform various operations on the etcd key-value store, including user management.
-
"user add": This is the specific command within etcdctl for adding a new user.
-
"${my_user}": This is a variable that represents the username of the new user you want to add. The variable should be replaced with the actual username. For example, if the variable is set to "john", then the command would be "etcdctl user add john".
When executed, this command will add a new user to the etcd server with the specified username, creating a new identity that can be used for authentication and authorization purposes.
