What's the difference between EnableEurekaClient and EnableDiscoveryClient?

Question

In some applications, I saw people are using @EnableEurekaClient. And some other example applications are using @EnableDiscoveryClient.

Is there any difference between these two?

Answer 1

There are multiple implementations of "Discovery Service" (eureka, consul, zookeeper). @EnableDiscoveryClient lives in spring-cloud-commons and picks the implementation on the classpath. @EnableEurekaClient lives in spring-cloud-netflix and only works for eureka. If eureka is on your classpath, they are effectively the same.
