ElastiCache Hands OnΒΆ

Let's try creating an ElastiCache cluster

Click on Get Started Now, ther will have 2 options for the cluster engine - redis or memcached. The redis can be a single node or cluster.

In the Redis settings we can choose multiple settings like engine version, port, parameter group, instance type, number of replicas and multiAZ.

In the advanced settings we can configure subnet, VPC and subnets. Choose availability zones.

In security we can enable encryption at rest and in transit. In-transit will let you choose redis auth method as well.

We also have options to log, import data into cluster and enable backups.

Then we can enable maintenance windows, add tags.
