2025/04/10 - Amazon ElastiCache - 5 updated api methods
Changes AWS ElastiCache SDK now supports using MemcachedUpgradeConfig parameter with ModifyCacheCluster API to enable updating Memcached cache node types. Please refer to updated AWS ElastiCache public documentation for detailed information on API usage and implementation.
{'CacheCluster': {'PendingModifiedValues': {'ScaleConfig': {'ScaleIntervalMinutes': 'integer',
'ScalePercentage': 'integer'}}}}
Creates a cluster. All nodes in the cluster run the same protocol-compliant cache engine software, either Memcached, Valkey or Redis OSS.
This operation is not supported for Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) clusters.

A name must contain from 1 to 50 alphanumeric characters or hyphens.
The first character must be a letter.
A name cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.
string
The ID of the replication group to which this cluster should belong. If this parameter is specified, the cluster is added to the specified replication group as a read replica; otherwise, the cluster is 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 cluster is created in Availability Zones that provide the best spread of read replicas across Availability Zones.
string
Specifies whether the nodes in this Memcached cluster 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 clusters.
If the AZMode and PreferredAvailabilityZones are not specified, ElastiCache assumes single-az mode.

Returns information about all provisioned clusters if no cluster identifier is specified, or about a specific cache cluster if a cluster identifier is supplied.
By default, abbreviated information about the clusters is returned. You can use the optional ShowCacheNodeInfo flag to retrieve detailed information about the cache nodes associated with the 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 cluster, node endpoint information and creation time for the additional nodes are not displayed until they are completely provisioned. When the cluster state is available, the cluster is ready for use.
If cache nodes are currently being removed from the cluster, no endpoint information for the removed nodes is displayed.

string
[REQUIRED]
The cluster identifier. This value is stored as a lowercase string.
integer
The number of cache nodes that the 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), more nodes are added. If the value is less than the number of existing cache nodes, nodes are removed. If the value is equal to the number of current cache nodes, 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 Valkey or Redis OSS, this value must be 1. For clusters running Memcached, this value must be between 1 and 40.
list
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 ModifyCacheCluster call is 5, you must list 2 (7 - 5) cache node IDs to remove.
(string) --
string
Specifies whether the new nodes in this Memcached 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 clusters.
list
The list of Availability Zones where the new Memcached cache nodes are 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.
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 operations. Specify NumCacheNodes=3 to cancel all pending operations.
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
Scenario-1
Pending Action: Delete
New Request: Delete
Result: The new delete, pending or immediate, replaces the pending delete.
Scenario-2
Pending Action: Delete
New Request: Create
Result: The new create, pending or immediate, replaces the pending delete.
Scenario-3
Pending Action: Create
New Request: Delete
Result: The new delete, pending or immediate, replaces the pending create.
Scenario-4
Pending Action: Create
New Request: Create
Result: The new create is added to the pending create.

{'CacheCluster': {'PendingModifiedValues': {'ScaleConfig': {'ScaleIntervalMinutes': 'integer',
'ScalePercentage': 'integer'}}}}
Reboots some, or all, of the cache nodes within a provisioned cluster. This operation applies any modified cache parameter groups to the cluster. The reboot operation takes place as soon as possible, and results in a momentary outage to the cluster. During the reboot, the 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 cluster event is created.
Rebooting a cluster is currently supported on Memcached, Valkey and Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) clusters. Rebooting is not supported on Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) clusters.
If you make changes to parameters that require a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) cluster reboot for the changes to be applied, see Rebooting a Cluster for an alternate process.
