Artemis deployment in AWS

[Luis De Bello <lu...@hotmail.com>]

Hi guys,

I would like to know your experience operating an Artemis cluster in AWS, is anyone doing that? how do you handle the broker state? EFS, JDBC?

Currently we have 4 instances in production (EC2 instances) using disk state and we avoid destroying instances using termination policies (to avoid lossing messages), during releases we mount extra instances lets say 4 more and we wait until message distribution moves messages from old instances to new one.

It is working fine, but it has the drawback of avoiding the instances going down when something fails like, OOM, topology issues leading us to execute manual restart, so we are looking to move to a differnet model, options are externalizaing state or doing the broker stateless and repopulating messages.

I would like to hear about your deployment models and similar issues.

Regards,
Luis
