Amazon ElastiCache

2017/10/24 - Amazon ElastiCache - 10 updated api methods

Changes  Amazon ElastiCache for Redis today announced support for data encryption both for data in-transit and data at-rest. The new encryption in-transit functionality enables ElastiCache for Redis customers to encrypt data for all communication between clients and Redis engine, and all intra-cluster Redis communication. The encryption at-rest functionality allows customers to encrypt their S3 based backups. Customers can begin using the new functionality by simply enabling this functionality via AWS console, and a small configuration change in their Redis clients. The ElastiCache for Redis service automatically manages life cycle of the certificates required for encryption, including the issuance, renewal and expiration of certificates. Additionally, as part of this launch, customers will gain the ability to start using the Redis AUTH command that provides an added level of authentication.

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

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.

Deletes a previously provisioned cache cluster. DeleteCacheCluster deletes all associated cache nodes, node endpoints and the cache cluster itself. When you receive a successful response from this operation, Amazon ElastiCache immediately begins deleting the cache cluster; you cannot cancel or revert this operation.

This operation cannot be used to delete a cache cluster that is the last read replica of a replication group or node group (shard) that has Multi-AZ mode enabled or a cache cluster from a Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group.

Warning

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

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.

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.

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), 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 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 operation (see ApplyImmediately ).

A pending operation 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 operations to modify the number of cache nodes in the cluster. For example, a request to remove 2 nodes would override a previous pending operation to remove 3 nodes. Similarly, a request to add 2 nodes would override a previous pending operation 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 operation to add nodes. The customer can modify the previous pending operation to add more nodes or explicitly cancel the pending request and retry the new request. To cancel pending operations 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 ModifyCacheCluster 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.

Note

You cannot specify single-az if the Memcached cache cluster already has cache nodes in different Availability Zones. If cross-az is specified, existing Memcached nodes remain in their current Availability Zone.

Only newly created nodes are located in different Availability Zones. For instructions on how to move existing Memcached nodes to different Availability Zones, see the Availability Zone Considerations section of Cache Node Considerations for Memcached.

type NewAvailabilityZones

list

param NewAvailabilityZones

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.

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 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.

    Warning

    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.

  • (string) --

type CacheSecurityGroupNames

list

param CacheSecurityGroupNames

Valid values for ddd are:

  • sun

  • mon

  • tue

  • wed

  • thu

  • fri

  • sat

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

type NotificationTopicArn

string

param NotificationTopicArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon SNS topic to which notifications are sent.

Note

The Amazon SNS topic owner must be same as the cache cluster owner.

type CacheParameterGroupName

string

param CacheParameterGroupName

The name of the cache parameter group to apply to this cache cluster. 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. 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 cache cluster.

If false , changes to the cache cluster are applied on the next maintenance reboot, or the next failure reboot, whichever occurs first.

Warning

If you perform a ModifyCacheCluster before a pending modification is applied, the pending modification is replaced by the newer modification.

Valid values: true | false

Default: false

type EngineVersion

string

param EngineVersion

The upgraded version of the cache engine to be run on the cache nodes.

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 cache cluster 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 cache cluster 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.

Note

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 your cache cluster.

type CacheNodeType

string

Reboots some, or all, of the cache nodes within a provisioned cache cluster. This operation applies any modified cache parameter groups to the cache cluster. The reboot operation 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.

Rebooting a cluster is currently supported on Memcached and Redis (cluster mode disabled) clusters. Rebooting is not supported on Redis (cluster mode enabled) clusters.

If you make changes to parameters that require a Redis (cluster mode enabled) cluster reboot for the changes to be applied, see Rebooting a Cluster for an alternate process.

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>

          • Slots (string) --

            The keyspace for this node group (shard).

          • NodeGroupMembers (list) --

            A list containing information about individual nodes within the node group (shard).

            • (dict) --

              • CacheClusterId (string) --

                The ID of the cache cluster to which the node belongs.

              • CacheNodeId (string) --

                The ID of the node within its cache cluster. A node ID is a numeric identifier (0001, 0002, etc.).

              • ReadEndpoint (dict) --

                Represents the information required for client programs to connect to a cache node.

                • Address (string) --

                  The DNS hostname of the cache node.

                • Port (integer) --

                  The port number that the cache engine is listening on.

              • PreferredAvailabilityZone (string) --

                The name of the Availability Zone in which the node is located.

              • CurrentRole (string) --

                The role that is currently assigned to the node - primary or replica .

      • SnapshottingClusterId (string) --

        The cache cluster ID that is used as the daily snapshot source for the replication group.

      • AutomaticFailover (string) --

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

        Amazon ElastiCache for Redis does not support Multi-AZ with automatic failover 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.

      • ConfigurationEndpoint (dict) --

        The configuration endpoint for this replicaiton group. Use the configuration endpoint to connect to this replication group.

        • Address (string) --

          The DNS hostname of the cache node.

        • Port (integer) --

          The port number that the cache engine is listening on.

      • SnapshotRetentionLimit (integer) --

        The number of days for which ElastiCache retains automatic cache cluster 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.

        Warning

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

      • SnapshotWindow (string) --

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

        Example: 05:00-09:00

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

        Note

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

      • ClusterEnabled (boolean) --

        A flag indicating whether or not this replication group is cluster enabled; i.e., whether its data can be partitioned across multiple shards (API/CLI: node groups).

        Valid values: true | false

      • CacheNodeType (string) --

        The name of the compute and memory capacity node type for each node in the replication group.

      • AuthTokenEnabled (boolean) --

        A flag that enables using an AuthToken (password) when issuing Redis commands.

        Default: false

      • TransitEncryptionEnabled (boolean) --

        A flag that enables in-transit encryption when set to true .

        You cannot modify the value of TransitEncryptionEnabled after the cluster is created. To enable in-transit encryption on a cluster you must set TransitEncryptionEnabled to true when you create a cluster.

        Default: false

      • AtRestEncryptionEnabled (boolean) --

        A flag that enables encryption at-rest when set to true .

        You cannot modify the value of AtRestEncryptionEnabled after the cluster is created. To enable encryption at-rest on a cluster you must set AtRestEncryptionEnabled to true when you create a cluster.

        Default: false
