Does 3.11 branch not use vnodes?

The readme says priam uses simpleDB to manage tokens. But then I don't see simpleDB anymore in the AWS console. So, I'm not sure if it still uses it. clarity on this would help
Thanks
@darkpssngr Priam does not have good support of vnodes irrespective of the branch. Netflix has always hosted one token per EC2 instance.
Regarding simpleDB offering from Amazon, I would let you contact Amazon for that. With some research, I found pricing for SimpleDB: https://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/pricing/ so I would assume it is still being offered.
Priam uses either local file or SimpleDB for token management and is fully supported. The interface allows you to have a custom binding for any database of your choice as well (RDS/DynamoDB etc). Inside Netflix, we use another Cassandra cluster to manage tokens. I will be working on making that binding open source next year. If you end up writing a custom interface for other DB offerings (irrespective of cloud provider), please feel free to submit a pull request as I am sure others can benefit too.
@darkpssngr FWIW, AWS just does not have a console UI for SimpleDB. This was confusing for me too at first. You must use their API. Assuming you're using aws-cli these commands may be helpful:
aws sdb create-domain --domain-name InstanceIdentity
aws sdb create-domain --domain-name PriamProperties
aws sdb select --select-expression 'SELECT * FROM InstanceIdentity'
