Is there a way to use JGroups for discovery? If the console was running
Yes of course.
in the same VM as any of the cache instances, it could delegate discovery to the cache, which could expose a set of addresses.
The console (be it Jopr or Embedded Jopr) never connects to a managed
resource itself, but the agent-plugin does this. So you could e.g. have
an agent running within EC2 that has the Infinispan plugin, which talks to
all the cache nodes and the server UI would run in the enterprise and would
talk to that agent.
The most difficult part would be to get the naming of the individual IS instances
on the various hosts right (*) - especially when only one agent is managing multiple
instances.
(*) The name of a resource must not change on the next discovery run. That is
why for example the process id is not allowed, as a process restart would find a
different resource and the existing one would be marked as down.
