###Automatic clustering
Automatic clustering is a feature by which mgmt automatically builds, scales,
and manages the embedded etcd cluster which is compiled into mgmt itself. It is
quite helpful for rapidly bootstrapping clusters and avoiding the extra work to
setup etcd.
If you prefer to avoid this feature. you can always opt to use an existing etcd
cluster that is managed separately from mgmt by pointing your mgmt agents at it
with the `--seeds` variable.
