Features
Feature | Description | References |
Cross-zone high availability | The cross-zone high availability feature is supported to implement disaster recovery. After you enable this feature for a workspace, you can create namespaces that use cross-zone compute units (CUs). This way, failed deployments in one zone can resume in another zone within the same region. This effectively prevents service interruptions caused by faults in a single zone and ensures continuity and high availability. | |
Operator profiling (public preview) | The operator profiling feature is supported to allow you to query the intermediate results of running SQL deployments. This feature simplifies the check of data correctness. | |
CloudMonitor | CloudMonitor can be selected as the monitoring service when you purchase a workspace. CloudMonitor provides basic monitoring and alerting features that are free of charge. You are charged only for the notifications sent through SMS and phone call. | |
Deployment search based on IP addresses | Deployment search based on IP addresses is supported. If the connection between a TaskManager node and a third-party component such as MySQL is abnormal, you can enter the IP address of the TaskManager node in the search box on the Deployments page in the development console of Realtime Compute for Apache Flink to search for and locate the related deployment. Then, you can perform necessary O&M operations to prevent the potential risks. Note If you have upgraded the network architecture, this feature is not supported due to the change of the overall network environment. For more information, see Network architecture upgrade. | N/A |
Optimization of the Workflows feature (public preview) | Alerts can be sent if a task in a workflow fails. The following operations are supported on the task details page: Re-Run (rerun a task), Set as Success (set the state of a failed task to successful), or Force Stop (terminate a task). | |
Startup or cancellation of multiple deployments at a time | Multiple deployments can be started or canceled at a time on the Deployments page in the development console of Realtime Compute for Apache Flink. | N/A |
