Parameter Groups are a collection of parameters which control the behaviour of the ElastiCache cluster. They are automatically created as part of creating the cluster. But many times, we need…

A shard is a collection of one or more nodes in an ElastiCache cluster. It is created to support replication of data into various nodes in the ElastiCache cluster so…

Once you have achieved the purpose of using a ElastiCache cluster, you will eventually reach a point when you no longer need the cluster either because you have a new…

As the demand for the ElastiCache service increases we eventually reach a point where we need to increase the memory and processing power allocated to Cache configuration. This is known…

As part of scaling down the cluster or modifying the cluster, we may need to remove some existing node from cluster. The process of removing node is very similar to…

When we want to expand a cluster, we do so either by adding more nodes or changing the existing nodes to a higher configuration. Depending on many factors like the…

Many times, we need to change a parameter value for a cluster. To apply the new value the cluster needs to be restarted. This is also called rebooting a cluster.…

There are various reasons for which you will need to modify an existing cluster. For example, you have a increase in demand for larger data sets to be put into…

To access the nodes in a cluster we use the Endpoint associated with node. We have already seen how to check for the endpoints, we will see how to configure…

After you have created the cluster and its status shows as available then you can take steps to access the cluster. But you also have to authorized access to the…
