+## Change Identity Allocation Mode
+
+Cilium assigns an identity for each endpoint. This identity is used to enforce basic connectivity between endpoints.
+
+Cilium currently supports two different identity allocation modes:
+
+- "crd" stores identities in kubernetes as CRDs (custom resource definition).
+  - These can be queried with `kubectl get ciliumid`
+- "kvstore" stores identities in an etcd kvstore.
