create-replication-group

Description

Creates a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) or a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) replication group.

This API can be used to create a standalone regional replication group or a secondary replication group associated with a Global datastore.

A Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) replication group is a collection of nodes, where one of the nodes is a read/write primary and the others are read-only replicas. Writes to the primary are asynchronously propagated to the replicas.

A Valkey or Redis OSS cluster-mode enabled cluster is comprised of from 1 to 90 shards (API/CLI: node groups). Each shard has a primary node and up to 5 read-only replica nodes. The configuration can range from 90 shards and 0 replicas to 15 shards and 5 replicas, which is the maximum number or replicas allowed.

The node or shard limit can be increased to a maximum of 500 per cluster if the Valkey or Redis OSS engine version is 5.0.6 or higher. For example, you can choose to configure a 500 node cluster that ranges between 83 shards (one primary and 5 replicas per shard) and 500 shards (single primary and no replicas). Make sure there are enough available IP addresses to accommodate the increase. Common pitfalls include the subnets in the subnet group have too small a CIDR range or the subnets are shared and heavily used by other clusters. For more information, see Creating a Subnet Group . For versions below 5.0.6, the limit is 250 per cluster.

To request a limit increase, see Amazon Service Limits and choose the limit type Nodes per cluster per instance type .

When a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) replication group has been successfully created, you can add one or more read replicas to it, up to a total of 5 read replicas. If you need to increase or decrease the number of node groups (console: shards), you can use scaling. For more information, see Scaling self-designed clusters in the ElastiCache User Guide .

Note

This operation is valid for Valkey and Redis OSS only.

Options

--replication-group-id (string)

The replication group identifier. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.

Constraints:

  • A name must contain from 1 to 40 alphanumeric characters or hyphens.
  • The first character must be a letter.
  • A name cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

--replication-group-description (string)

A user-created description for the replication group.

--global-replication-group-id (string)

The name of the Global datastore

--primary-cluster-id (string)

The identifier of the cluster that serves as the primary for this replication group. This cluster must already exist and have a status of available .

This parameter is not required if NumCacheClusters , NumNodeGroups , or ReplicasPerNodeGroup is specified.

--automatic-failover-enabled | --no-automatic-failover-enabled (boolean)

Specifies whether a read-only replica is automatically promoted to read/write primary if the existing primary fails.

AutomaticFailoverEnabled must be enabled for Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) replication groups.

Default: false

--multi-az-enabled | --no-multi-az-enabled (boolean)

A flag indicating if you have Multi-AZ enabled to enhance fault tolerance. For more information, see Minimizing Downtime: Multi-AZ .

--num-cache-clusters (integer)

The number of clusters this replication group initially has.

This parameter is not used if there is more than one node group (shard). You should use ReplicasPerNodeGroup instead.

If AutomaticFailoverEnabled is true , the value of this parameter must be at least 2. If AutomaticFailoverEnabled is false you can omit this parameter (it will default to 1), or you can explicitly set it to a value between 2 and 6.

The maximum permitted value for NumCacheClusters is 6 (1 primary plus 5 replicas).

--preferred-cache-cluster-azs (list)

A list of EC2 Availability Zones in which the replication group's clusters are created. The order of the Availability Zones in the list is the order in which clusters are allocated. The primary cluster is created in the first AZ in the list.

This parameter is not used if there is more than one node group (shard). You should use NodeGroupConfiguration instead.

Note

If you are creating your replication group in an Amazon VPC (recommended), you can only locate clusters in Availability Zones associated with the subnets in the selected subnet group.

The number of Availability Zones listed must equal the value of NumCacheClusters .

Default: system chosen Availability Zones.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--num-node-groups (integer)

An optional parameter that specifies the number of node groups (shards) for this Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) replication group. For Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) either omit this parameter or set it to 1.

Default: 1

--replicas-per-node-group (integer)

An optional parameter that specifies the number of replica nodes in each node group (shard). Valid values are 0 to 5.

--node-group-configuration (list)

A list of node group (shard) configuration options. Each node group (shard) configuration has the following members: PrimaryAvailabilityZone , ReplicaAvailabilityZones , ReplicaCount , and Slots .

If you're creating a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) or a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) replication group, you can use this parameter to individually configure each node group (shard), or you can omit this parameter. However, it is required when seeding a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) cluster from a S3 rdb file. You must configure each node group (shard) using this parameter because you must specify the slots for each node group.

When setting TransitEncryptionEnabled to true , you can set your TransitEncryptionMode to preferred in the same request, to allow both encrypted and unencrypted connections at the same time. Once you migrate all your Valkey or Redis OSS clients to use encrypted connections you can modify the value to required to allow encrypted connections only.

Setting TransitEncryptionMode to required is a two-step process that requires you to first set the TransitEncryptionMode to preferred , after that you can set TransitEncryptionMode to required .

This process will not trigger the replacement of the replication group.

Possible values:

  • preferred
  • required

--cluster-mode (string)

Enabled or Disabled. To modify cluster mode from Disabled to Enabled, you must first set the cluster mode to Compatible. Compatible mode allows your Valkey or Redis OSS clients to connect using both cluster mode enabled and cluster mode disabled.

It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
