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 partially supported — single-shard / non-clustered is the reliable path.
  • Host port starts at ELASTICACHE_BASE_PORT (default 16379).
