Distributed Leader Election and Kubernetes Lease

Distributed leader election ensures a single node performs exclusive tasks in high‑availability systems, with common implementations like Etcd, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Zookeeper using algorithms such as Paxos, Raft, and ZAB, while Kubernetes provides the Lease resource to manage leader election via a distributed lock.
