[ecf-dev] etcd discovery for remote services

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

As I've mentioned previously, there is an etcd-based discovery provider 
available at our github repo [1].

Today I've been doing some more testing of this provider, and can now 
verify it works for publishing and discovering OSGi Remote Services via 
RSA.   I've added product configurations for both the TimeServiceHost 
and TimeServiceConsumer.   Both of these use the etcd at 
disco.ecf-project.org site (which is still running fine!).

One thing to note:  with this etcd provider, ECF's RSA implementation 
fits in very nicely with Kubernetes [2], as Kubernetes uses an etcd 
server to manage a cluster of containers, and so with this provider no 
separate etcd discovery server would be needed.
