This example assumes that you have Ruby on Rails application that uses Redis. To
access the configuration file, you can add the redis gem to your Gemfile
and create a Rails initializer in config/initializers/redis.rb as
follows:
REDIS_CONFIG = YAML::load_file(Rails.root.join('config', 'redis.yml')) $redis = Redis.new(:host => REDIS_CONFIG['host'], :port => REDIS_CONFIG['port'])
Then create
an app to represent your application and deploy
it to the Rails App Server layer's instances, which updates the application code and
runs generate.rb to generate the configuration file. When you run
the application, it will use the ElastiCache Redis instance as its in-memory key-value
store.
