Hazelcast IMDG Standard Support has expired. Extended support for version 4.1 ends in April 2024. Extended support for version 4.2 ends in September 2024.

We recommend that you try Hazelcast Platform.

In Hazelcast Platform, we’ve combined the in-memory storage of IMDG with the stream processing power of Jet. Find out more in our Platform documentation.

The following topics are a good place to start:

Discovering Members by Auto Detection

4.2 4.1 4.0 3.12 3.11 3.10 3.9 3.8 3.7 3.6 3.5

Auto Detection is a good way to start playing with Hazelcast. It tries to automatically detect the appropriate discovery plugin and apply it to your Hazelcast configuration. Assuming you have hazelcast-all on your classpath and your runtime is Kubernetes, Hazelcast automatically applies the Kubernetes discovery mechanism.

Below is a table with minimal requirements for each environment.
