[REQUIRED]

The node group identifier. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.

Constraints:

  • A name must contain from 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters or hyphens.

  • The first character must be a letter.

  • A name cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

type ReplicationGroupId:

string

param ReplicationGroupId:

The ID of the replication group to which this cache cluster should belong. If this parameter is specified, the cache cluster will be added to the specified replication group as a read replica; otherwise, the cache cluster will be a standalone primary that is not part of any replication group.

If the specified replication group is Multi-AZ enabled and the availability zone is not specified, the cache cluster will be created in availability zones that provide the best spread of read replicas across availability zones.

Note: This parameter is only valid if the Engine parameter is redis.

type AZMode:

string

param AZMode:

Specifies whether the nodes in this Memcached node group are created in a single Availability Zone or created across multiple Availability Zones in the cluster's region.

This parameter is only supported for Memcached cache clusters.

If the AZMode and PreferredAvailabilityZones are not specified, ElastiCache assumes single-az mode.

type PreferredAvailabilityZone:

AddTagsToResource (new) Link ¶

The AddTagsToResource action adds up to 10 cost allocation tags to the named resource. A cost allocation tag is a key-value pair where the key and value are case-sensitive. Cost allocation tags can be used to categorize and track your AWS costs.

When you apply tags to your ElastiCache resources, AWS generates a cost allocation report as a comma-separated value (CSV) file with your usage and costs aggregated by your tags. You can apply tags that represent business categories (such as cost centers, application names, or owners) to organize your costs across multiple services. For more information, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in Amazon ElastiCache.

DeleteReplicationGroup (new) Link ¶

The DeleteReplicationGroup action deletes an existing replication group. By default, this action deletes the entire replication group, including the primary cluster and all of the read replicas. You can optionally delete only the read replicas, while retaining the primary cluster.

When you receive a successful response from this action, Amazon ElastiCache immediately begins deleting the selected resources; you cannot cancel or revert this action.

Request Syntax

client.delete_replication_group(
    ReplicationGroupId='string',
    RetainPrimaryCluster=True|False,
    FinalSnapshotIdentifier='string'

DescribeCacheClusters (new) Link ¶

The DescribeCacheClusters action returns information about all provisioned cache clusters if no cache cluster identifier is specified, or about a specific cache cluster if a cache cluster identifier is supplied.

By default, abbreviated information about the cache clusters(s) will be returned. You can use the optional ShowDetails flag to retrieve detailed information about the cache nodes associated with the cache clusters. These details include the DNS address and port for the cache node endpoint.

If the cluster is in the CREATING state, only cluster level information will be displayed until all of the nodes are successfully provisioned.

If the cluster is in the DELETING state, only cluster level information will be displayed.

If cache nodes are currently being added to the cache cluster, node endpoint information and creation time for the additional nodes will not be displayed until they are completely provisioned. When the cache cluster state is available, the cluster is ready for use.

If cache nodes are currently being removed from the cache cluster, no endpoint information for the removed nodes is displayed.

CreateReplicationGroup (new) Link ¶

The CreateReplicationGroup action creates a replication group. A replication group is a collection of cache clusters, where one of the cache clusters is a read/write primary and the others are read-only replicas. Writes to the primary are automatically propagated to the replicas.

When you create a replication group, you must specify an existing cache cluster that is in the primary role. When the replication group has been successfully created, you can add one or more read replica replicas to it, up to a total of five read replicas.

Note: This action is valid only for Redis.

RebootCacheCluster (new) Link ¶

The RebootCacheCluster action reboots some, or all, of the cache nodes within a provisioned cache cluster. This API will apply any modified cache parameter groups to the cache cluster. The reboot action takes place as soon as possible, and results in a momentary outage to the cache cluster. During the reboot, the cache cluster status is set to REBOOTING.

The reboot causes the contents of the cache (for each cache node being rebooted) to be lost.

When the reboot is complete, a cache cluster event is created.

)
type CacheClusterId:

string

param CacheClusterId:

[REQUIRED]

The cache cluster identifier. This value is stored as a lowercase string.

type NumCacheNodes:

integer

param NumCacheNodes:

The number of cache nodes that the cache cluster should have. If the value for NumCacheNodes is greater than the sum of the number of current cache nodes and the number of cache nodes pending creation (which may be zero), then more nodes will be added. If the value is less than the number of existing cache nodes, then nodes will be removed. If the value is equal to the number of current cache nodes, then any pending add or remove requests are canceled.

If you are removing cache nodes, you must use the CacheNodeIdsToRemove parameter to provide the IDs of the specific cache nodes to remove.

For clusters running Redis, this value must be 1. For clusters running Memcached, this value must be between 1 and 20.

**Note:**Adding or removing Memcached cache nodes can be applied immediately or as a pending action. See ApplyImmediately. A pending action to modify the number of cache nodes in a cluster during its maintenance window, whether by adding or removing nodes in accordance with the scale out architecture, is not queued. The customer's latest request to add or remove nodes to the cluster overrides any previous pending actions to modify the number of cache nodes in the cluster. For example, a request to remove 2 nodes would override a previous pending action to remove 3 nodes. Similarly, a request to add 2 nodes would override a previous pending action to remove 3 nodes and vice versa. As Memcached cache nodes may now be provisioned in different Availability Zones with flexible cache node placement, a request to add nodes does not automatically override a previous pending action to add nodes. The customer can modify the previous pending action to add more nodes or explicitly cancel the pending request and retry the new request. To cancel pending actions to modify the number of cache nodes in a cluster, use the ModifyCacheCluster request and set NumCacheNodes equal to the number of cache nodes currently in the cache cluster.

type CacheNodeIdsToRemove:

list

param CacheNodeIdsToRemove:

A list of cache node IDs to be removed. A node ID is a numeric identifier (0001, 0002, etc.). This parameter is only valid when NumCacheNodes is less than the existing number of cache nodes. The number of cache node IDs supplied in this parameter must match the difference between the existing number of cache nodes in the cluster or pending cache nodes, whichever is greater, and the value of NumCacheNodes in the request.

For example: If you have 3 active cache nodes, 7 pending cache nodes, and the number of cache nodes in this ModifyCacheCluser call is 5, you must list 2 (7 - 5) cache node IDs to remove.

  • (string) --

type AZMode:

string

param AZMode:

Specifies whether the new nodes in this Memcached cache cluster are all created in a single Availability Zone or created across multiple Availability Zones.

Valid values: single-az | cross-az.

This option is only supported for Memcached cache clusters.

type NewAvailabilityZones:

list

param NewAvailabilityZones:

The list of Availability Zones where the new Memcached cache nodes will be created.

This parameter is only valid when NumCacheNodes in the request is greater than the sum of the number of active cache nodes and the number of cache nodes pending creation (which may be zero). The number of Availability Zones supplied in this list must match the cache nodes being added in this request.

This option is only supported on Memcached clusters.

Scenarios:

  • Scenario 1: You have 3 active nodes and wish to add 2 nodes. Specify NumCacheNodes=5 (3 + 2) and optionally specify two Availability Zones for the two new nodes.

  • Scenario 2: You have 3 active nodes and 2 nodes pending creation (from the scenario 1 call) and want to add 1 more node. Specify NumCacheNodes=6 ((3 + 2) + 1)

and optionally specify an Availability Zone for the new node.

  • Scenario 3: You want to cancel all pending actions. Specify NumCacheNodes=3 to cancel all pending actions.

The Availability Zone placement of nodes pending creation cannot be modified. If you wish to cancel any nodes pending creation, add 0 nodes by setting NumCacheNodes to the number of current nodes.

If cross-az is specified, existing Memcached nodes remain in their current Availability Zone. Only newly created nodes can be located in different Availability Zones. For guidance on how to move existing Memcached nodes to different Availability Zones, see the Availability Zone Considerations section of Cache Node Considerations for Memcached.

Impact of new add/remove requests upon pending requests

Scenarios Pending action New Request Results Scenario-1 Delete Delete The new delete, pending or immediate, replaces the pending delete. Scenario-2 Delete Create The new create, pending or immediate, replaces the pending delete. Scenario-3 Create Delete The new delete, pending or immediate, replaces the pending create. Scenario-4 Create Create The new create is added to the pending create. Important:**If the new create request is **Apply Immediately - Yes, all creates are performed immediately. If the new create request is Apply Immediately - No, all creates are pending.

Cache security groups are only used when you are creating a cache cluster outside of an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). If you are creating a cache cluster inside of a VPC, use a cache subnet group instead. For more information, see CreateCacheSubnetGroup.
