Question

does anyone have suggestions for dynamic service discovery on Amazon AWS?

I am thinking about ZooKeeper but would like an approch that do not require running VM's.

Answer 1

Check out Netflix's curator project.

It is a framework, client, and recipe wrapper around ZooKeeper.

One of the extensions is Service Discovery.

What Is a Discovery Service?

In SOA/distributed systems, services need to find each other. i.e. a web service might need to find a caching service, etc. DNS can be used for this but it is nowhere near flexible enough for services that are constantly changing. A Service Discovery system provides a mechanism for:

• Services to register their availability
• Locating a single instance of a particular service
• Notifying when the instances of a service change

curator Service Discovery enables:

• Registering/Unregistering Services
• Querying for Services
• Service Cache

Curator is extremely well-designed and relatively easy to get started with. I definitely second the recommendation. – Wouldbe

Answer 2

What do you mean service discovery......you can use udp and whatever you need and broadcasting in a VPC to "discover" whatever you need and comes online. What does zookeeper(a system for helping to distributed transactions) have to do with service discovery.

Broadcast and multicast doesn't work in EC2. You might get it in a VPC, but as far as I can tell, this isn't supported yet. – Complainant

@TedDunning is right. Neither EC2 nor VPC allows multi/broadcasting >> VPC Current Limitations – Crownwork
