Elastic Processing Unit


An Elastic Processing Unit (EPU) is a Processing Unit with additional capabilities that simplify its deployment across multiple machines. Container and machine resources such as Memory and CPU are automatically provisioned based on Memory and CPU requirements. When a machine failure occurs, or when scale requirements change, new machines are provisioned and the Processing Unit deployment distribution is balanced automatically.

Note

The Elastic Processing Unit is deprecated as of XAP version 12.1, as noted in the Release Notes.
