Amazon ElastiCache

2016/10/12 - Amazon ElastiCache - 9 updated api methods

Changes  Elasticache is launching a new major engine release of Redis, 3.2 (providing stability updates and new command sets over 2.8), as well as ElasticSupport for enabling Redis Cluster in 3.2, which provides support for multiple node groups to horizontally scale data, as well as superior engine failover capabilities.

Makes a copy of an existing snapshot.

Note

This operation is valid for Redis only.

Warning

Users or groups that have permissions to use the CopySnapshot operation can create their own Amazon S3 buckets and copy snapshots to it. To control access to your snapshots, use an IAM policy to control who has the ability to use the CopySnapshot operation. For more information about using IAM to control the use of ElastiCache operations, see Exporting Snapshots and Authentication & Access Control.

You could receive the following error messages.

Error Messages

  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s is outside of the region. Solution: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your snapshot. For more information, see Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s does not exist. Solution: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your snapshot. For more information, see Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s is not owned by the authenticated user. Solution: Create an Amazon S3 bucket in the same region as your snapshot. For more information, see Step 1: Create an Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: The authenticated user does not have sufficient permissions to perform the desired activity. Solution: Contact your system administrator to get the needed permissions.

  • Error Message: The S3 bucket %s already contains an object with key %s. Solution: Give the TargetSnapshotName a new and unique value. If exporting a snapshot, you could alternatively create a new Amazon S3 bucket and use this same value for TargetSnapshotName .

  • Error Message: ElastiCache has not been granted READ permissions %s on the S3 Bucket. Solution: Add List and Read permissions on the bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: ElastiCache has not been granted WRITE permissions %s on the S3 Bucket. Solution: Add Upload/Delete permissions on the bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

  • Error Message: ElastiCache has not been granted READ_ACP permissions %s on the S3 Bucket. Solution: Add View Permissions on the bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the ElastiCache User Guide.

client.copy_snapshot(
    SourceSnapshotName='string',
    TargetSnapshotName='string',
    TargetBucket='string'
)
type SourceSnapshotName

string

param SourceSnapshotName

[REQUIRED]

The name of an existing snapshot from which to make a copy.

type TargetSnapshotName

string

param TargetSnapshotName

[REQUIRED]

A name for the snapshot copy. ElastiCache does not permit overwriting a snapshot, therefore this name must be unique within its context - ElastiCache or an Amazon S3 bucket if exporting.

type TargetBucket

string

param TargetBucket

The Amazon S3 bucket to which the snapshot is exported. This parameter is used only when exporting a snapshot for external access.

When using this parameter to export a snapshot, be sure Amazon ElastiCache has the needed permissions to this S3 bucket. For more information, see Step 2: Grant ElastiCache Access to Your Amazon S3 Bucket in the Amazon ElastiCache User Guide .

Creates a Redis (cluster mode disabled) or a Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group.

A Redis (cluster mode disabled) 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 asynchronously propagated to the replicas.

A Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group is a collection of 1 to 15 node groups (shards). Each node group (shard) has one read/write primary node and up to 5 read-only replica nodes. Writes to the primary are asynchronously propagated to the replicas. Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication groups partition the data across node groups (shards).

When a Redis (cluster mode disabled) replication group has been successfully created, you can add one or more read replicas to it, up to a total of 5 read replicas. You cannot alter a Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group once it has been created.

Note

This operation is valid for Redis only.

Deletes an existing replication group. By default, this operation deletes the entire replication group, including the primary/primaries and all of the read replicas. If the replication group has only one primary, you can optionally delete only the read replicas, while retaining the primary by setting RetainPrimaryCluster=true .

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

Note

This operation is valid for Redis only.

string

param SnapshottingClusterId

The cache cluster ID that is used as the daily snapshot source for the replication group. This parameter cannot be set for Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication groups.

type AutomaticFailoverEnabled

boolean

param AutomaticFailoverEnabled

Determines whether a read replica is automatically promoted to read/write primary if the existing primary encounters a failure.

Valid values: true | false

Note

ElastiCache Multi-AZ replication groups are not supported on:

  • Redis versions earlier than 2.8.6.

  • Redis (cluster mode disabled):T1 and T2 cache node types. Redis (cluster mode enabled): T1 node types.

type CacheSecurityGroupNames

list

param CacheSecurityGroupNames

A list of cache security group names to authorize for the clusters in this replication group. This change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible.

This parameter can be used only with replication group containing cache clusters running outside of an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).

Constraints: Must contain no more than 255 alphanumeric characters. Must not be Default .

  • (string) --

type SecurityGroupIds

list

param SecurityGroupIds

Specifies the VPC Security Groups associated with the cache clusters in the replication group.

This parameter can be used only with replication group containing cache clusters running in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).

  • (string) --

type PreferredMaintenanceWindow

string

param PreferredMaintenanceWindow

Specifies the weekly time range during which maintenance on the cluster is performed. It is specified as a range in the format ddd:hh24:mi-ddd:hh24:mi (24H Clock UTC). The minimum maintenance window is a 60 minute period.

Valid values for ddd are:

  • sun

  • mon

  • tue

  • wed

  • thu

  • fri

  • sat

Example: sun:23:00-mon:01:30

The name of the cache parameter group to apply to all of the clusters in this replication group. This change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible for parameters when the ApplyImmediately parameter is specified as true for this request.

type NotificationTopicStatus

string

param NotificationTopicStatus

The status of the Amazon SNS notification topic for the replication group. Notifications are sent only if the status is active .

Valid values: active | inactive

type ApplyImmediately

boolean

param ApplyImmediately

If true , this parameter causes the modifications in this request and any pending modifications to be applied, asynchronously and as soon as possible, regardless of the PreferredMaintenanceWindow setting for the replication group.

If false , changes to the nodes in the replication group are applied on the next maintenance reboot, or the next failure reboot, whichever occurs first.

Valid values: true | false

Default: false

type EngineVersion

string

param EngineVersion

The upgraded version of the cache engine to be run on the cache clusters in the replication group.

Important: You can upgrade to a newer engine version (see Selecting a Cache Engine and Version ), but you cannot downgrade to an earlier engine version. If you want to use an earlier engine version, you must delete the existing replication group and create it anew with the earlier engine version.

type AutoMinorVersionUpgrade

boolean

param AutoMinorVersionUpgrade

This parameter is currently disabled.

type SnapshotRetentionLimit

integer

param SnapshotRetentionLimit

The number of days for which ElastiCache retains automatic node group (shard) snapshots before deleting them. For example, if you set SnapshotRetentionLimit to 5, a snapshot that was taken today is retained for 5 days before being deleted.

Important If the value of SnapshotRetentionLimit is set to zero (0), backups are turned off.

type SnapshotWindow

string

param SnapshotWindow

The daily time range (in UTC) during which ElastiCache begins taking a daily snapshot of the node group (shard) specified by SnapshottingClusterId .

Example: 05:00-09:00
