Previously introduced in my blog last year, the Elastic Compute Node (ECN) has been released with SAP HANA Cloud QRC 04/2024 and is now generally available to all SAP HANA Cloud customers. Since I’ve already covered its key capabilities, characteristics, and potential use cases in my previous blog, this post will focus on getting started with ECN, rather than repeating that information. For a recap, please refer to the earlier blog.
In general, suitable use cases for ECN include addressing compute-intensive OLAP or read-only peak workloads with better flexibility, ensuring performance through workload distribution, and optimizing TCO.
In this context, individual ECNs or multiple ECNs can be provisioned and deprovisioned based on your requirements, with workloads being routed to and executed on the ECN. To maximize ECN utilization, tables can also be replicated to the ECN, allowing query executions to be fully delegated to it, as it fetches data from the replicas.
The following illustrates how ECNs can be provisioned with and without table replicas and then deprovisioned.
