Azure Table Storage Based Discovery

This module can be used as a discovery method for any cluster that has access to an Azure Table Storage service.

Configuring Using Akka.Hosting

You can programmatically configure Akka.Discovery.Azure using Akka.Hosting.

using var host = new HostBuilder() .ConfigureServices((hostContext, services) => { services.AddAkka("actorSystem", (builder, provider) => { builder.WithAzureDiscovery("your-azure-conection-string"); }); }) .Build(); await host.RunAsync();

Configuring Using HOCON

You will need to include these HOCON settings in your HOCON configuration:

akka.discovery { method = azure azure { # The service name assigned to the cluster. service-name = "default" # The connection string used to connect to Azure Table hosting the cluster membership table # MANDATORY FIELD: MUST be provided, else the discovery plugin WILL throw an exception. connection-string = "<connection-string>" } }

Notes

• The akka.discovery.azure.connection-string setting is mandatory
• For Akka.Discovery.Azure to work with multiple clusters, each cluster will have to have different akka.discovery.azure.service-name settings.

Configuring Using ActorSystemSetup

You can programmatically configure Akka.Discovery.Azure using the AzureDiscoverySetup class.

var config = ConfigurationFactory.ParseString(File.ReadAllText("app.conf")); var bootstrap = BootstrapSetup.Create() .WithConfig(config) // load HOCON .WithActorRefProvider(ProviderSelection.Cluster.Instance); // launch Akka.Cluster var azureSetup = new AzureDiscoverySetup() .WithConnectionString(connectionString); var actorSystemSetup = bootstrap.And(azureSetup); var system = ActorSystem.Create("my-system", actorSystemSetup);

Using Discovery Together with Akka.Management and Cluster.Bootstrap
