Features

Zone Based Replication

• Can create clusters based on availability zone for an EVCache app. This improves reliability and availability of the data.

Dynamically re-sizable cluster

• The cluster size can be changed by adding or removing nodes. The EVCache client automatically configures (Eureka) to the new size.

Connection Pools and Management

• Create a Pool of connections to each EVCache App
• Separate pools for Read and Write Operations

Zone Fallback

• If a request to a zone fails (instance containing the data has crashed or the cluster size is increased causing a rehash of keys or a new ASG has been added) you can have clients fallback to other zones containing the data. This will incur an additional cost but typically is a lot smaller than going to the source of truth.

Set a zone to write only mode

When we lose instances in a zone we can set that zone to Write only until the cache is substantially full.

##Eureka Specific Features

Resilient to state in Eureka

• Be passive when disconnecting from EVCache server i.e. if eureka drops a server the client should not remove it until the connection is lost.
