Rules that apply · 1

Every rule whose selector covers this component's kind or its category. Whether a rule fires depends on the design: its properties, its edges and its groups.

stateful-node-without-zone-redundancy

A stateful compute node pinned to exactly one availability zone disappears with that zone, and its state goes with it. Nodes inside a cell are exempt, because there the cell is deliberately single-zone and redundancy comes from the other cells.

  • — all of these hold:
  • — the node's `stateless` is false
  • — the node sits inside exactly 1 availability-zone group
  • — this does not hold:
  • — the node sits inside at least one cell group

# Amazon Simple Workflow Service: task coordination where AWS stores the execution history and
# hands tasks to deciders and workers you run yourself, on EC2 or on premises. "What is Amazon
# Simple Workflow Service?" carries no end-of-life date but recommends AWS Step Functions for most
# new workflow and orchestration use cases; "Amazon SWF Quotas" gives the hard limits below.
