Calico key and path prefixes

• Operator
• Manifest

This document does not apply to operator installations of Calico.

The paths listed here are the key or path prefixes that a particular Calico component needs access to in etcd to function successfully.

note

The path prefixes listed here may change in the future and at that point anything referencing them (like etcd roles) would need to be updated appropriately.

calico/node

Felix as a stand alone process

CNI-plugin

calico/kube-controllers

note

By default, calico/kube-controllers performs periodic compaction of the etcd data store. If you limit it to just these paths it will be unauthorized to perform this compaction, as that operation requires root privileges on the etcd cluster. You should configure auto-compaction on your etcd cluster and disable calico/kube-controllers periodic compaction.
