AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroupThe `AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroup` resource creates an Amazon ElastiCache (Valkey or Redis OSS) replication group. A Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) replication group is a collection of cache clusters, where one of the clusters is a primary read-write cluster and the others are read-only 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 engine version is Valkey 7.2 or higher, or Redis OSS 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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/dg/SubnetGroups.Creating.html) . For versions below 5.0.6, the limit is 250 per cluster. To request a limit increase, see [Amazon Service Limits](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_service_limits.html) and choose the limit type *Nodes per cluster per instance type* .

When `UseOnlineResharding` is set to `false` , or is not specified, updating `NumNodeGroups` results in [replacement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-update-behaviors.html#update-replacement) . Default: 1
Default: - 1
portOptionalnumberThe port number on which each member of the replication group accepts connections.
preferredCacheClusterAZsOptionalstring[]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. > 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.
preferredMaintenanceWindowOptionalstringSpecifies the weekly time range during which maintenance on the cluster is performed. It is specified as a range in the format ddd:hh24:mi-ddd:hh24:mi (24H Clock UTC). The minimum maintenance window is a 60 minute period. Valid values for `ddd` are: - `sun` - `mon` - `tue` - `wed` - `thu` - `fri` - `sat` Example: `sun:23:00-mon:01:30`
primaryClusterIdOptionalstringThe 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.
replicasPerNodeGroupOptionalnumberAn optional parameter that specifies the number of replica nodes in each node group (shard). Valid values are 0 to 5.
replicationGroupIdOptionalstringThe 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.
securityGroupIdsOptionalstring[]One or more Amazon VPC security groups associated with this replication group. Use this parameter only when you are creating a replication group in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).
snapshotArnsOptionalstring[]A list of Amazon Resource Names (ARN) that uniquely identify the Valkey or Redis OSS RDB snapshot files stored in Amazon S3. The snapshot files are used to populate the new replication group. The Amazon S3 object name in the ARN cannot contain any commas. The new replication group will have the number of node groups (console: shards) specified by the parameter *NumNodeGroups* or the number of node groups configured by *NodeGroupConfiguration* regardless of the number of ARNs specified here. Example of an Amazon S3 ARN: `arn:aws:s3:::my_bucket/snapshot1.rdb`
snapshotNameOptionalstringThe name of a snapshot from which to restore data into the new replication group. The snapshot status changes to `restoring` while the new replication group is being created.
snapshotRetentionLimitOptionalnumberThe number of days for which ElastiCache retains automatic snapshots before deleting them. For example, if you set `SnapshotRetentionLimit` to 5, a snapshot that was taken today is retained for 5 days before being deleted. Default: 0 (i.e., automatic backups are disabled for this cluster).
Default: - 0
snapshottingClusterIdOptionalstringThe cluster ID that is used as the daily snapshot source for the replication group. This parameter cannot be set for Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) replication groups.
snapshotWindowOptionalstringThe daily time range (in UTC) during which ElastiCache begins taking a daily snapshot of your node group (shard). Example: `05:00-09:00` If you do not specify this parameter, ElastiCache automatically chooses an appropriate time range.
tagsOptionalCfnTag[]A list of tags to be added to this resource. Tags are comma-separated key,value pairs (e.g. Key= `myKey` , Value= `myKeyValue` . You can include multiple tags as shown following: Key= `myKey` , Value= `myKeyValue` Key= `mySecondKey` , Value= `mySecondKeyValue` . Tags on replication groups will be replicated to all nodes.
transitEncryptionEnabledOptionalboolean | IResolvableA flag that enables in-transit encryption when set to `true` . This parameter is only available when creating a replication group in an Amazon VPC using Valkey version `7.2` and above, Redis OSS version `3.2.6` , or Redis OSS version `4.x` and above, and the cluster is being created in an Amazon VPC. If you enable in-transit encryption, you must also specify a value for `CacheSubnetGroup` . > TransitEncryptionEnabled is required when creating a new valkey replication group. Default: `false` > For HIPAA compliance, you must specify `TransitEncryptionEnabled` as `true` , an `AuthToken` , and a `CacheSubnetGroup` .
Default: - false
transitEncryptionModeOptionalstringA setting that allows you to migrate your clients to use in-transit encryption, with no downtime. 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.
userGroupIdsOptionalstring[]The ID of user group to associate with the replication group.
