Hi Colin, Is each instance's "unique-dns-address" equal to the hostname of the instance or is the hostname something else? If it's different from the hostname, you're correct in assuming you need to configure each node to advertise its unique-dns-address intead.
Are the unique-dns-addresses aliases for public or private IPs? I.e. in your example of a unique-dns-address do the X's map to the private IP of the instance or some public IP? If I recall correctly, in AWS (at least within a VPC), instance's public IPs are not actually bound to the instance itself and are more like a NAT/DMZ address, meaning you can't actually bind a port to them. This might work differently in EC2-Classic. If you ensure that each node advertises a bindable, resolvable name or IP address—with jobmanager.rpc.address on the jobmanager and taskmanager.hostname on the taskmanager—then they should all be able to discover, address, and communicate with each other with no problems. -- Patrick Lucas On Tue, Nov 21, 2017 at 6:44 AM, Colin Williams < colin.williams.seat...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > We noticed that we couldn't parallelize our flink docker containers and > this looks like an issue that other have experienced.
