Cloud Discovery Plugins

Hazelcast provides the following plugins that allow Hazelcast cluster members to discover each other on cloud platforms. These plugins are mainly used for the following reasons:

• To provide dynamic member discovery when you do not want to or you cannot provide a list of static IP addresses (for member-member discovery, client-member discovery, or WAN replication).
• For resilience against availability zone failures (ZONE_AWARE feature).
