type CacheClusterId

string

param CacheClusterId

[REQUIRED]

The node group (shard) 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

Warning

Due to current limitations on Redis (cluster mode disabled), this operation or parameter is not supported on Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication groups.

The ID of the replication group to which this cache cluster should belong. If this parameter is specified, the cache cluster is added to the specified replication group as a read replica; otherwise, the cache 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 cache cluster is 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 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 cache clusters.

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

type PreferredAvailabilityZone

string

param PreferredAvailabilityZone

The EC2 Availability Zone in which the cache cluster is created.

All nodes belonging to this Memcached cache cluster are placed in the preferred Availability Zone. If you want to create your nodes across multiple Availability Zones, use PreferredAvailabilityZones .

Default: System chosen Availability Zone.

type PreferredAvailabilityZones

list

param PreferredAvailabilityZones

A list of the Availability Zones in which cache nodes are created. The order of the zones in the list is not important.

This option is only supported on Memcached.

Note

If you are creating your cache cluster in an Amazon VPC (recommended) you can only locate nodes in Availability Zones that are associated with the subnets in the selected subnet group.

The number of Availability Zones listed must equal the value of NumCacheNodes .

If you want all the nodes in the same Availability Zone, use PreferredAvailabilityZone instead, or repeat the Availability Zone multiple times in the list.

Default: System chosen Availability Zones.

  • (string) --

type NumCacheNodes

integer

param NumCacheNodes

The initial number of cache nodes that the cache cluster has.

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

CreateReplicationGroup (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request)
{'AuthToken': 'string'}

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.

Note

This operation is valid for Redis only.
