- Parameters:
CacheClusterId (string) –
[REQUIRED]
The node group (shard) identifier. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.
Constraints:
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.
ReplicationGroupId (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.
Note
This parameter is only valid if the
Engine
parameter isredis
.AZMode (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

mode.PreferredAvailabilityZone (string) –
The EC2 Availability Zone in which the cluster is created.

PreferredAvailabilityZone
instead, or repeat the Availability Zone multiple times in the list.Default: System chosen Availability Zones.
(string) –
NumCacheNodes (integer) –
The initial number of cache nodes that the cluster has.
For clusters running Redis, this value must be 1. For clusters running Memcached, this value must be between 1 and 40.

The cache node identifier. A node ID is a numeric identifier (0001, 0002, etc.). The combination of cluster ID and node ID uniquely identifies every cache node used in a customer’s Amazon account.
CacheNodeStatus (string) –
The current state of this cache node, one of the following values:
available
,creating
,rebooting
, ordeleting
.CacheNodeCreateTime (datetime) –
The date and time when the cache node was created.
Endpoint (dict) –
The hostname for connecting to this cache node.
Address (string) –
The DNS hostname of the cache node.
Port (integer) –
The port number that the cache engine is listening on.
ParameterGroupStatus (string) –
The status of the parameter group applied to this cache node.
SourceCacheNodeId (string) –
The ID of the primary node to which this read replica node is synchronized. If this field is empty, this node is not associated with a primary cluster.
CustomerAvailabilityZone (string) –
The Availability Zone where this node was created and now resides.
CustomerOutpostArn (string) –
The customer outpost ARN of the cache node.
AutoMinorVersionUpgrade (boolean) –
If you are running Redis engine version 6.0 or later, set this parameter to yes if you want to opt-in to the next auto minor version upgrade campaign. This parameter is disabled for previous versions.
SecurityGroups (list) –
A list of VPC Security Groups associated with the cluster.
(dict) –
Represents a single cache security group and its status.
SecurityGroupId (string) –
The identifier of the cache security group.
Status (string) –
The status of the cache security group membership. The status changes whenever a cache security group is modified, or when the cache security groups assigned to a cluster are modified.
ReplicationGroupId (string) –
The replication group to which this cluster belongs. If this field is empty, the cluster is not associated with any replication group.
SnapshotRetentionLimit (integer) –
The number of days for which ElastiCache retains automatic 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 cluster.
Example:
05:00-09:00
AuthTokenEnabled (boolean) –
A flag that enables using an
AuthToken
(password) when issuing Redis commands.Default:
false
AuthTokenLastModifiedDate (datetime) –
The date the auth token was last modified
TransitEncryptionEnabled (boolean) –
A flag that enables in-transit encryption when set to
true
.Required: Only available when creating a replication group in an Amazon VPC using redis version
3.2.6
,4.x
or later.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 at-rest encryption on a cluster you must setAtRestEncryptionEnabled
totrue
when you create a cluster.Required: Only available when creating a replication group in an Amazon VPC using redis version
3.2.6
,4.x
or later.Default:
false
ARN (string) –
The ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the cache cluster.
ReplicationGroupLogDeliveryEnabled (boolean) –
A boolean value indicating whether log delivery is enabled for the replication group.
LogDeliveryConfigurations (list) –
Returns the destination, format and type of the logs.
(dict) –
Returns the destination, format and type of the logs.
LogType (string) –
Refers to slow-log or engine-log.
DestinationType (string) –
Returns the destination type, either
cloudwatch-logs
orkinesis-firehose
.DestinationDetails (dict) –
Configuration details of either a CloudWatch Logs destination or Kinesis Data Firehose destination.
CloudWatchLogsDetails (dict) –
The configuration details of the CloudWatch Logs destination.
LogGroup (string) –
The name of the CloudWatch Logs log group.
KinesisFirehoseDetails (dict) –
The configuration details of the Kinesis Data Firehose destination.
DeliveryStream (string) –
The name of the Kinesis Data Firehose delivery stream.
LogFormat (string) –
Returns the log format, either JSON or TEXT.
Status (string) –
Returns the log delivery configuration status. Values are one of
enabling
|disabling
|modifying
|active
|error
Message (string) –
Returns an error message for the log delivery configuration.
NetworkType (string) –
Must be either
ipv4
|ipv6
|dual_stack
. IPv6 is supported for workloads using Redis engine version 6.2 onward or Memcached engine version 1.6.6 on all instances built on the Nitro system.IpDiscovery (string) –
The network type associated with the cluster, either
ipv4
|ipv6
. IPv6 is supported for workloads using Redis engine version 6.2 onward or Memcached engine version 1.6.6 on all instances built on the Nitro system.TransitEncryptionMode (string) –
A setting that allows you to migrate your clients to use in-transit encryption, with no downtime.
