Amazon ElastiCache

2017/04/05 - Amazon ElastiCache - 1 new 5 updated api methods

Changes  ElastiCache added support for testing the Elasticache Multi-AZ feature with Automatic Failover.

TestFailover (new) Link ¶

Represents the input of a TestFailover operation which test automatic failover on a specified node group (called shard in the console) in a replication group (called cluster in the console).

Note the following

  • A customer can use this operation to test automatic failover on up to 5 shards (called node groups in the ElastiCache API and AWS CLI) in any rolling 24-hour period.

  • If calling this operation on shards in different clusters (called replication groups in the API and CLI), the calls can be made concurrently.

  • If calling this operation multiple times on different shards in the same Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group, the first node replacement must complete before a subsequent call can be made.

  • To determine whether the node replacement is complete you can check Events using the Amazon ElastiCache console, the AWS CLI, or the ElastiCache API. Look for the following automatic failover related events, listed here in order of occurrance:

    • Replication group message: Test Failover API called for node group <node-group-id>

    • Cache cluster message: Failover from master node <primary-node-id> to replica node <node-id> completed

    • Replication group message: Failover from master node <primary-node-id> to replica node <node-id> completed

    • Cache cluster message: Recovering cache nodes <node-id>

    • Cache cluster message: Finished recovery for cache nodes <node-id>

For more information see:

Also see, Testing Multi-AZ with Automatic Failover in the ElastiCache User Guide .

CreateReplicationGroup (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'ReplicationGroup': {'CacheNodeType': 'string', 'ClusterEnabled': 'boolean'}}

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 after it has been created. However, if you need to increase or decrease the number of node groups (console: shards), you can avail yourself of ElastiCache for Redis' enhanced backup and restore. For more information, see Restoring From a Backup with Cluster Resizing in the ElastiCache User Guide .

Note

This operation is valid for Redis only.

DeleteReplicationGroup (updated) Link ¶
Changes (response)
{'ReplicationGroup': {'CacheNodeType': 'string', 'ClusterEnabled': 'boolean'}}

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.

param ReplicationGroupId

[REQUIRED]

boolean

param RetainPrimaryCluster

If set to true , all of the read replicas are deleted, but the primary node is retained.

type FinalSnapshotIdentifier

string

param FinalSnapshotIdentifier

The name of a final node group (shard) snapshot. ElastiCache creates the snapshot from the primary node in the cluster, rather than one of the replicas; this is to ensure that it captures the freshest data. After the final snapshot is taken, the replication group is immediately deleted.

DescribeCacheClusters (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'ShowCacheClustersNotInReplicationGroups': 'boolean'}

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 is returned. You can use the optional ShowCacheNodeInfo 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 is displayed until all of the nodes are successfully provisioned.

If the cluster is in the deleting state, only cluster-level information is displayed.

If cache nodes are currently being added to the cache cluster, node endpoint information and creation time for the additional nodes are not 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.

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

If you do not specify this parameter, ElastiCache automatically chooses an appropriate time range.

type CacheNodeType

string

param CacheNodeType

A valid cache node type that you want to scale this replication group to.

type NodeGroupId

string

param NodeGroupId

The name of the Node Group (called shard in the console).

dict

    • ReplicationGroup (dict) --

      Contains all of the attributes of a specific Redis replication group.

      • ReplicationGroupId (string) --

        The identifier for the replication group.

      • Description (string) --

        The description of the replication group.

      • Status (string) --

        The current state of this replication group - creating , available , modifying , deleting , create-failed , snapshotting .

      • PendingModifiedValues (dict) --

        A group of settings to be applied to the replication group, either immediately or during the next maintenance window.

        • PrimaryClusterId (string) --

          The primary cluster ID that is applied immediately (if --apply-immediately was specified), or during the next maintenance window.

        • AutomaticFailoverStatus (string) --

          Indicates the status of Multi-AZ for this Redis replication group.

          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.

      • MemberClusters (list) --

        The names of all the cache clusters that are part of this replication group.

        • (string) --

      • NodeGroups (list) --

        A single element list with information about the nodes in the replication group.
