#### 6.0 Service Discovery based on ETCD
#### 6.0 Service Discovery based on etcd
As you know, Proxy depends on some other components. So how Proxy knows their node information such as host and port,
it is also called how Milvus implements the service discovery mechanism? As a cloud-native vector database, Milvus use
the ETCD to provide service registration and service discovery. Every node in Milvus will register their node
information(including host, port, ID and etc) into ETCD after startup. They should specific the prefix and key of ETCD
when registration. Nodes with same type have same prefix in ETCD, while nodes with different type have different prefix.
The key in ETCD can be assigned with a lease and you can specific the `time-to-live(ttl)` of lease. Milvus uses this
mechanism to check if a node is online. When a node is healthy, it will continuously renew the lease in ETCD. Otherwise
if some exception occurs in the node and the node stopped to renew the lease, ETCD will delete the related node
information. By using this mechanism, nodes in Milvus can know if there are any other nodes going to be online or
offline and synchronize the latest node information.
