Creating Connection Pools
Learn how to create connection pools to reduce rate limits.
Table of Contents
Overview
Several factors can limit the transfer speed when transferring data between a source and a destination. Most cloud providers have rate limitations that reduce the transfer rate, but if those limits are account-based and the platform supports impersonation, DryvIQ can create a pool of accounts that issue commands in a round-robin format across all of the accounts connected to the pool.
Modifications to the connection pool will be applied on the next job run. For example, if a connection pool has two accounts, all commands will be alternated between them. If a third account is added to the pool, the next run of the job will use all three accounts.
"My Computer" and Network File Share (NFS) connections are not supported with connection pooling.
Connections using OAuth 2 authentication may experience bandwidth throttling when using connection pooling.
