Actually /etc is mounted in tmpfs so not persistent:
cat /proc/mounts |grep etc
none /etc tmpfs
rw,rootcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0,seclabel,relatime
0 0
So if you want to change things you have to change it in "/config/etc/"

You can just as easily do a "mount -o rw,remount /" to edit things if you want but you have to do this on every node and again after upgrading to a newer version of node.
I see it's there in the wiki:
