must be healthy and stable for a certain amount of time before being promoted
|

to a full, voting member. This can be configured via the `ServerStabilizationTime`
|

setting.

~> The following Autopilot features are available only in
|
||||
[Consul Enterprise](https://www.hashicorp.com/consul.html) version 0.8.0 and later.
|
||||
|
||||
## Designated Non-voting Servers
|
||||
|
||||
With the [`-non-voting-server`](/docs/agent/options.html#_non_voting_server) option, a
|
||||
server can be explicitly marked as a non-voter and will never be promoted to a voting
|
||||
member. This can be useful when more read scaling is needed; being a non-voter means
|
||||
that the server will still have data replicated to it, but it will not be part of the
|
||||
quorum that the leader must wait for before committing log entries.
|
||||
|
||||
## Redundancy Zones
|
||||
|
||||
Prior to Autopilot, it was difficult to deploy servers in a way that took advantage of
|
||||
isolated failure domains such as AWS Availability Zones; users would be forced to either
|
||||
have an overly-large quorum (2-3 nodes per AZ) or give up redundancy within an AZ by
|
||||
deploying just one server in each.
|
||||
|
||||
If the `RedundancyZoneTag` setting is set, Consul will use its value to look for a
|
||||
zone in each server's specified [`-node-meta`](/docs/agent/options.html#_node_meta)
|
||||
tag. For example, if `RedundancyZoneTag` is set to `zone`, and `-node-meta zone:east1a`
|
||||
is used when starting a server, that server's redundancy zone will be `east1a`.
|
||||
|
||||
Consul will then use these values to partition the servers by redundancy zone, and will
|
||||
aim to keep one voting server per zone. Extra servers in each zone will stay as non-voters
|
||||
on standby to be promoted if the active voter leaves or dies.
|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrade Migrations
|
||||
|
||||
Autopilot in Consul Enterprise supports upgrade migrations by default. To disable this
|
||||
functionality, set `DisableUpgradeMigration` to true.
|
||||
|
||||
When a new server is added and Autopilot detects that its Consul version is newer than
|
||||
that of the existing servers, Autopilot will avoid promoting the new server until enough
|
||||
newer-versioned servers have been added to the cluster. When the count of new servers
|
||||
equals or exceeds that of the old servers, Autopilot will begin promoting the new servers
|
||||
to voters and demoting the old servers. After this is finished, the old servers can be
|
||||
safely removed from the cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
To check the consul version of the servers, either the [autopilot health]
|
||||
(/docs/agent/http/operator.html#autopilot-health) endpoint or the `consul members`
|
||||
command can be used:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ consul members

||||
