GossNet.Discovery.Aws

AWS EC2 tag-based node discovery for GossNet.Protocol.

Instances are found by a tag they already carry, so nothing registers or deregisters itself. This mirrors how Consul and Serf auto-join on AWS (retry_join provider=aws tag_key=…): an instance that goes away simply stops matching.

Installation

dotnet add package GossNet.Discovery.Aws

Usage

Tag every cluster member, then point discovery at that tag:

using GossNet.Discovery.Aws;
using GossNet.Protocol;

var awsOptions = new AwsDiscoveryOptions
{
    TagKey = "gossnet-cluster",
    TagValue = "production",
    Port = 9055
};

var configuration = new GossNetConfiguration
{
    Hostname = "10.0.1.23",
    Port = 9055,
    DiscoveryProviderFactory = cfg => new Ec2TagNodeDiscovery(cfg, awsOptions)
};

await using var node = new GossNetNode<MyMessage>(configuration);
node.Start();

Hostname must be the address other nodes can reach this instance on — normally its private IP, matching UsePrivateIp. Discovery excludes the node from its own results by comparing against it, so a mismatch makes a node gossip to itself.

IAM

The instance profile (or whichever credentials the SDK picks up) needs one action:

{
  "Effect": "Allow",
  "Action": "ec2:DescribeInstances",
  "Resource": "*"
}

ec2:DescribeInstances does not support resource-level permissions, so Resource must be *. Scope it with a condition key if your policy requires narrowing.

Options

Option Default Description
TagKey required Instance tag key identifying cluster members
TagValue required The value that tag must have
Port 9055 Gossip port, uniform across the cluster
UsePrivateIp true Use the private address rather than the public one
Region ambient AWS region; falls back to the SDK's own configuration
CacheDuration 30 seconds How long a resolved instance list is reused

EC2 describes instances, not services, so the port cannot be discovered and must be the same on every node.

Only instances in the running state are returned. Stopped and terminated instances keep their tags, and their addresses are either gone or reassigned. Instances with no address of the requested kind are skipped rather than returned as unreachable neighbours. Results are paginated through in full, so clusters larger than one page are not truncated.

A failed EC2 call — throttling, missing permissions, no credentials — throws NodeDiscoveryException rather than returning an empty list, so an API problem is never mistaken for a cluster of one.
