## Grant leases
Applications can grant leases for keys from an etcd cluster. When a key is attached to a lease, its lifetime is bound to the lease's lifetime which in turn is governed by a time-to-live (TTL). Each lease has a minimum time-to-live (TTL) value specified by the application at grant time. The lease's actual TTL value is at least the minimum TTL and is chosen by the etcd cluster. Once a lease's TTL elapses, the lease expires and all attached keys are deleted.
Here is the command to grant a lease:
```
# grant a lease with 10 second TTL
$ etcdctl lease grant 10
lease 32695410dcc0ca06 granted with TTL(10s)
# attach key foo to lease 32695410dcc0ca06
$ etcdctl put --lease=32695410dcc0ca06 foo bar
OK
```
## Revoke leases
Applications revoke leases by lease ID. Revoking a lease deletes all of its attached keys.
Suppose we finished the following sequence of operations:
```
$ etcdctl lease grant 10
lease 32695410dcc0ca06 granted with TTL(10s)
$ etcdctl put --lease=32695410dcc0ca06 foo bar
OK
```
Here is the command to revoke the same lease:
```
$ etcdctl lease revoke 32695410dcc0ca06
lease 32695410dcc0ca06 revoked
$ etcdctl get foo
# empty response since foo is deleted due to lease revocation
```
## Keep leases alive
Applications can keep a lease alive by refreshing its TTL so it does not expire.
Suppose we finished the following sequence of operations:
```
$ etcdctl lease grant 10
lease 32695410dcc0ca06 granted with TTL(10s)
```
Here is the command to keep the same lease alive:
```
$ etcdctl lease keep-alive 32695410dcc0ca0
lease 32695410dcc0ca0 keepalived with TTL(100)
lease 32695410dcc0ca0 keepalived with TTL(100)
lease 32695410dcc0ca0 keepalived with TTL(100)
...
```
