Here's how to deploy etcd cluster with systemd.
etcd needs data directory on host machine. Configure the data directory accessible to systemd as:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/etcd
sudo chown -R root:$(whoami) /var/lib/etcd
sudo chmod -R a+rw /var/lib/etcd
In each machine, write etcd systemd service files:
cat > /tmp/my-etcd-1.service <<EOF

The service needs to backend enabled first, in case of system reboot:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable my-etcd-1.service
sudo systemctl start my-etcd-1.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable my-etcd-2.service
sudo systemctl start my-etcd-2.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable my-etcd-3.service
sudo systemctl start my-etcd-3.service
systemd stores etcd server logs with journald:
sudo systemctl status my-etcd-1.service -l --no-pager
sudo journalctl -u my-etcd-1.service -l --no-pager|less
sudo journalctl -f -u my-etcd-1.service
sudo systemctl status my-etcd-2.service -l --no-pager
sudo journalctl -u my-etcd-2.service -l --no-pager|less
sudo journalctl -f -u my-etcd-2.service
sudo systemctl status my-etcd-3.service -l --no-pager
sudo journalctl -u my-etcd-3.service -l --no-pager|less
sudo journalctl -f -u my-etcd-3.service
To disable etcd process:
sudo systemctl stop my-etcd-1.service
sudo systemctl disable my-etcd-1.service
sudo systemctl stop my-etcd-2.service
sudo systemctl disable my-etcd-2.service
sudo systemctl stop my-etcd-3.service
sudo systemctl disable my-etcd-3.service
