<commit_before># SkyDNS [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/skynetservices/skydns.png)](https://travis-ci.org/skynetservices/skydns2)
*Version 2.0.0*

SkyDNS is a distributed service for announcement and discovery of services built on
top of [etcd](https://github.com/coreos/etcd). It utilizes DNS queries
to discover available services. This is done by leveraging SRV records in DNS,
with special meaning given to subdomains, priorities and weights.

This is the original [announcement blog post](http://blog.gopheracademy.com/skydns) for version 1. 
Since then, SkyDNS has seen some changes, most notably the ability to use etcd as a backend.<commit_msg>Feeble attempt to start documenting the differences between version 1 and 2<commit_after># SkyDNS [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/skynetservices/skydns.png)](https://travis-ci.org/skynetservices/skydns2)

# Changes with version 1

SkyDNS version 1 has a raft implemention 

SkyDNS2:

* Does away with Raft and uses Etcd (which uses raft).
* Makes is possible to query arbitrary domain names.
* Is basically a thin layer above etcd that translates etcd keys and values to the DNS.
