RFE: Blog Post: Secure HA Kubernetes cluster configuration

Replace etcd with Tahoe-LAFS to simplify security and availability of Kubernetes Clusters

The goal of this article is to provide an innovative use case in cloud infrastructure. The audience is small, influential and the value is high. We anticipate getting quick feedback upon publication. By default, Kubernetes stores cluster configuration data and secrets as key:value pairs using the etcd. As a result, creating highly available clusters and managing secrets is a troublesome and error prone endeavor. This article describes how to use a key:value store powered by Tahoe to leverage a proven solution for both secrecy and availability.

Thanks to @blaisep , @wearpants and @hacklschorsch for suggesting this.
