Can you also add a comment on how to run Kontrol after you created the initial keys? It's not urgent but would be awesome if you could :)

What's this about? multiconfig: field 'Postgres.Username' is required when running kontrol -initial

So there's only one host that runs Kontrol, and if that host dies then that's the end? Is there a way to run Kontrol in a distributed manner?

@briantk1988 you can run multiple kontrols behind a load balancer, session stickiness enabled. eg: http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/load_balancing.html#nginx_load_balancing_with_ip_hash http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/DeveloperGuide/US_StickySessions.html

@cihangir Thanks for the clarification! I thought that Kontrol has a built in way to manage multiple instances.

@cihangir How do I set it up so that different instances of Kontrol communicate with each other? This should be simple, but I cannot find any documentation on it. Thanks.

Hi, all kontrols are identical, just start them with same configuration, no other syncronization is needed.

@cihangir So when I register a Kite with one Kontrol instance, how do the others know?

Kontrol is using ETCD or Postgresql as backed storage, since all the kontrols uses the same backend, they will have all the information.

@cihangir Thanks!

@cihangir Would you recommend running Kontrol on all nodes?

It is fine for kloud, if you are OK with connection count to the storage backend.

@cihangir Thanks. I'm not very experienced with this. Would this be any problem if I use etcd as storage?

Another question is about kloud. Is there any documentation on this? The basic tutorial seems to only cover kontrol but nothing about kloud.

Hi @briantk1988 we were using ETCD as backend storage, but just to uniform our backend we switched to PostgreSQL, so you should be able to use it without any problem.

Is there any documentation on this?

sorry, we dont have an extensive documentation for kites yet.

i rebuilt travis build, it is passing now. cc/ @fatih
