ElastiCache
Real Redis/Memcached containers. Replication groups, parameter groups, subnet groups, snapshots.
Quick start

CloudFormation
No CloudFormation resource types map to this service yet. Resources can still be created via the SDK or CLI.
Known limitations
- Cluster-mode-enabled Redis is metadata-only by default; set ELASTICACHE_CLUSTER_MODE_REAL=1 (requires DOCKER_NETWORK) to provision a real multi-node Redis cluster with CLUSTER SLOTS / MOVED redirects. Non-clustered single-node Redis needs no knobs.
- Host port starts at ELASTICACHE_BASE_PORT (default 16379).
