Re: [keycloak-user] Replace use of Infinispan with User Sessions SPI ?

AWS was why we didn’t use Infinispan to begin with. That and it’s even more complicated when you deploy using Amazon’s Docker service (ECS) or Beanstalk. It’s too bad Infinispan / JGroups are beasts when the out of the box configuration can’t be used. I’m planning to document this as we fix but I’d avoid S3_PING and use JDBC_PING. You already need JDBC for the Keycloak DB, unless you’re using Mongo and it’s easier to test locally. TCPPING will bite you on AWS if Amazon decides to replace one of your instances (which it does occasionally w/ECS or Beanstalk).
