Same zone calls in Spring-cloud eureka - spring-cloud-netflix

Question

I am trying to run some apps in two different zones : office and shahbour
based on my reading if i set preferSameZoneEureka to true then applications within same zone should always talk together but in my case it is doing round robbin . Below is my application.yml that is common to all applications
eureka:
client:
preferSameZoneEureka: true
region: lebanon
serviceUrl:
office: http://localhost:8761/eureka/
shahbour: http://192.168.15.202:8761/eureka/
availabilityZones:
lebanon: office
instance:
leaseRenewalIntervalInSeconds: 10
metadataMap:
instanceId: ${vcap.application.instance_id:${spring.application.name}:${spring.application.instance_id:${server.port}}}
zone: office
hystrix:
command.default.execution.isolation.thread.timeoutInMilliseconds: 5000
---
spring:
profiles: shahbour
eureka:
instance:
metadataMap:
zone: shahbour
client:
availabilityZones:
lebanon: shahbour
My understanding is that all application that have profile shahbour
active should talk to each other unless it is not found they fall back to applications in zone office

Answer 1

i found out that i need two eureka to be able to accomplish the above , one in each zone
below is my eureka configuration
server:
port: ${PORT:8761}
---
spring:
profiles: office
eureka:
instance:
hostname: office
client:
serviceUrl:
office: http://office:8761/eureka/
shahbour: http://shahbour:8761/eureka/
---
spring:
profiles: shahbour
eureka:
instance:
hostname: shahbour
client:
serviceUrl:
office: http://office:8761/eureka/
shahbour: http://shahbour:8761/eureka/
and for the services
eureka:
client:
preferSameZoneEureka: true
region: lebanon
serviceUrl:
office: http://office:8761/eureka/
shahbour: http://shahbour:8761/eureka/
availabilityZones:
lebanon: office,shahbour
instance:
leaseRenewalIntervalInSeconds: 10
metadataMap:
instanceId: ${vcap.application.instance_id:${spring.application.name}:${spring.application.instance_id:${server.port}}}
zone: office
hystrix:
command.default.execution.isolation.thread.timeoutInMilliseconds: 5000
---
spring:
profiles: shahbour
eureka:
instance:
metadataMap:
zone: shahbour
client:
availabilityZones:
lebanon: shahbour,office
by doing so , i am able to use any service on the office zone but as soon i start that service on my own environment (zone) i start using it.
