ElastiCache

    A basic version of ElastiCache is provided. By default, the API is started on and supports running a local Redis instance (Memcached support coming soon).

    Then use the returned port number () to connect to the Redis instance:

    1. $ redis-cli -p 4510 ping
    2. $ redis-cli -p 4510 set foo bar
    3. $ redis-cli -p 4510 get foo

    Note: Redis requires at least 3+ nodes to form a Redis replication group with cluster mode enabled. Hence, if the user requests only 2 node groups, we transparently upgrade to 3 nodes behind the scenes, to avoid raising an error.
