EC2 Partition Placement Strategy

Partition Placement StrategyΒΆ

  • Up to 7 partitions per Availability Zone
  • Up to 100s of AWS EC2 instances
  • The instances in a partition do not share racks with the instances in other partitions

  • A [[partition failure]] can affect many AWS EC2 but won't affect other partitions

  • AWS EC2 instances get access to the partition information as metadata

Use cases: - [[HDFS]] - [[HBase]] - [[Cassandra]] - [[Kafka]]
