Proxy support for hazelcast (AWS)?

[planet]

In our AWS environment the EC2 endpoint is only reachable via a proxy server, as there is no other way to get to the Internet. Does hazelcast support this? If so how can we configure hazelcast to discovery members via a proxy? Thanks in advance!

The AWS discovery plugin uses java.net.HttpURLConnection, which supports this use case.

Please set the http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort system properties, or their https counterparts https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort, to specify your http, or https, proxy host and port [1].

Also, set the http.nonProxyHosts (which is also used for https!) to the value "169.254.169.254|169.254.170.2", so that the hazelcast-aws plugin can access the Instance Meta Data Service [2] and the IAM Roles for Tasks Service [3].

Hope this helps.
