This product that enables easy installation of a high-performance memory-based Arcus cache cluster. Test Arcus quickly on your workload!
Overview
This template provides a comprehensive solution for setting up an Arcus cluster with ZooKeeper coordination. Key features include:
- Flexible Network Configuration: Deploy to your existing VPC with custom subnet selection, supporting both public and private subnet deployments
- Automatic Private Subnet Support: Automatically detects private subnets and provisions required VPC endpoints (SSM, SSM Messages, EC2 Messages) for seamless instance management without internet gateway dependencies
- Scalable Architecture: Configure cluster size from 1 to 9 nodes with partition placement strategy for high availability across availability zones
- Multiple Access Methods: Supports both SSH (via EC2 KeyPair) and AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Session Manager for secure instance access
- Automated Cluster Setup: Fully automated deployment including ZooKeeper cluster formation, cache server registration, and service initialization
- Configurable Resources: Choose from multiple instance types (r6g.medium/large/xlarge, t4g.micro/small) and configure memory allocation (64-14000 MB) per cache server
The template orchestrates the complete lifecycle from infrastructure provisioning to cluster initialization. Before completion, it ensure all ZooKeeper nodes form a quorum and all cache servers are verified operational.
Highlights
- Fully Automated Deployment: Build a production-ready Arcus distributed cache cluster in minutes. This CloudFormation template automates all the complex steps, including EC2 provisioning, ZooKeeper quorum setup, and Arcus server configuration, eliminating the risk of manual errors and dramatically reducing deployment time.
- Exceptional Scalability and High Availability: Effortlessly scale the number of cache nodes up or down to meet demand. The architecture is designed to distribute instances across multiple Availability Zones, minimizing downtime and maintaining your application's responsiveness and stability in the face of infrastructure failures.
- Complete Control and Flexibility: Build a cost-effective and secure caching solution by choosing the right EC2 instance types, defining your cluster size, and configuring granular network access policies. You retain full ownership and control over your infrastructure.

Dimensions summary
This is a free listing for the Arcus cache cluster, a distributed in-memory caching system. You pay no software charges across all five options. The dimensions map to different AWS EC2 instance sizes, billed hourly. The t4g.micro and t4g.small options run on smaller compute footprints. The r6g.medium, r6g.large, and r6g.xlarge options run on memory-focused instances, scaling up in size. You choose an instance size based on your workload's memory and compute needs. Each option carries its own hourly rate reflecting the underlying instance capacity you select.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each option maps to an AWS EC2 instance size running the Arcus cache cluster. The t4g options use general-purpose compute for lighter workloads. The r6g options use memory-focused instances for cache-heavy use. You pick the size matching your memory and compute needs.
The software carries no charge on this free listing, so no software fees accrue at any time. Stopped instances still run on AWS infrastructure, so underlying AWS compute or storage charges may apply based on your account. The cache software itself meters no cost.
You select a different instance dimension, such as moving from r6g.medium to r6g.large or r6g.xlarge. Each carries its own hourly rate tied to the instance capacity. The software remains free. Any change in AWS instance charges follows the instance size you run.

Delivery details
Automated Arcus Cache Cluster Deployment via AWS CloudFormation
This delivery option automates the entire process of building a scalable and reliable Arcus distributed cache cluster on the AWS Cloud using AWS CloudFormation. Without requiring complex manual configuration, users can quickly provision a high-performance, in-memory caching environment ready for their applications by simply providing a few parameters. How It Works & Provisioned Resources:
- When you launch this CloudFormation template, the following process is automated: Creates Launch Template and Auto Scaling Group: Based on the InstanceType and Shard (number of nodes) parameters you specify, it creates a Launch Template and an Auto Scaling Group for the EC2 instances. This ensures high availability by distributing instances across multiple Availability Zones and maintains the desired number of nodes at all times.
- Configures Network Security: It creates a SecurityGroup resource to control access on essential ports: SSH (22), Arcus (11211), and ZooKeeper (2181). You can enhance security by specifying allowed IP ranges through the SSHCidr, ArcusCidr, and ZooKeeperCidr parameters.
- Automates ZooKeeper Cluster Setup: Once instances are launched by the Auto Scaling Group, a built-in AWS Lambda function is triggered. This function gathers information about all running instances and then uses AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Run Command to connect to each one, configure the ZooKeeper cluster (ensemble), and start it automatically.
- Creates Arcus Znodes and Starts Servers: After the ZooKeeper cluster is ready, subsequent Lambda functions run in sequence. The first function connects to a primary node to create the necessary ZooKeeper Znodes for Arcus operations. The next function then starts the Arcus server process on all cache nodes, registering them with the ZooKeeper cluster.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
