  1. Open J2EE Session Cluster December 2013

  2. Agenda • Drivers • Existing products • Description • Technology choices • Demo • Plan

  3. Drivers • Current architecture at Penn has dedicated servers for applications • Generally an app gets 3-10 app servers • Traffic is not constant • During the night or during certain times of year, servers are idle

  4. Drivers (continued) • AWS auto-scales • The Elastic Load Balancer uses monitoring (cloud watch) to scale up or down for certain thresholds • The ELB uses sticky session for our applications • Scaling up is not problem (existing sessions stay put) • Scaling down might be an issue (if there are sessions on the machine which will be terminated)

  5. Existing products • J2EE session replication • Tomcat has this • Multicast (inconvenient for multi-availability zones) • Not sure it scales well (other institutions I have talked to haven’t had good experience with it and don’t use it) • Other software add-ons didn’t look appealing

  6. Description

  7. Technology choices • Small Java filter, with few dependencies • Interfaces can customize various parts of the flow • Storage interface to S3 (Amazon Web Service Simple Storage Service) • AWS Elasticache might be better, but that is only available from EC2 (?) • AWS Dynamo DB was a candidate though items can only be 64kB • Could be in application database

  8. Demo • See movie

  9. Plans • Handle logout (delete session) • Ability to limit sessions for app or user? • Roll into AWS app in early 2014
