Module: `elasticache-redis`

Terraform module to provision an ElastiCache Redis Cluster

Usage

Disruptive changes introduced at version 0.41.0. If upgrading from an earlier version, see migration notes for details.

Note that this uses secure defaults. One of the ways this module can trip users up is with transit_encryption_enabled which is true by default. With this enabled, one does not simply redis-cli in without setting up an stunnel. Amazon provides good documentation on how to connect with it enabled. If this is not desired behavior, set transit_encryption_enabled=false.

This module creates, by default, a new security group for the Elasticache Redis Cluster. When a configuration change (for example, a different security group name) cannot be applied to the security group, Terraform will replace that security group with a new one with the new configuration. In order to allow Terraform to fully manage the security group, you should not place any other resources in (or associate any other resources with) the security group this module creates. Also, in order to keep things from breaking when this module replaces the security group, you should not reference the created security group anywhere else (such as in rules in other security groups). If you want to associate the cluster with a more stable security group that you can reference elsewhere, create that security group outside this module (perhaps with terraform-aws-security-group) and pass the security group ID in via associated_security_group_ids.

Note about zone_id: Previously, zone_id was a string. This caused problems (see #82). Now zone_id should be supplied as a list(string), either empty or with exactly 1 zone ID in order to avoid the problem.

Values are maps of the form `{<br/> format = string<br/> labels = list(string)<br/>}` (Type is `any` so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.) `format` is a Terraform format string to be passed to the `format()` function. `labels` is a list of labels, in order, to pass to `format()` function. Label values will be normalized before being passed to `format()` so they will be identical to how they appear in `id`. Default is `{}` (`descriptors` output will be empty).	`any`	`{}`	no
dns_subdomain	The subdomain to use for the CNAME record. If not provided then the CNAME record will use var.name.	`string`	`""`	no

inline_rules_enabled	NOT RECOMMENDED. Create rules "inline" instead of as separate `aws_security_group_rule` resources. See #20046 for one of several issues with inline rules. See this post for details on the difference between inline rules and rule resources.	`bool`	`false`	no
instance_type	Elastic cache instance type	`string`	`"cache.t2.micro"`	no

Does not affect values of tags passed in via the `tags` input. Possible values: `lower`, `title`, `upper` and `none` (no transformation). Set this to `title` and set `delimiter` to `""` to yield Pascal Case IDs. Default value: `lower`.	`string`	`null`	no
labels_as_tags	Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the `tags` output. Default is to include all labels. Tags with empty values will not be included in the `tags` output. Set to `[]` to suppress all generated tags. Notes: The value of the `name` tag, if included, will be the `id`, not the `name`. Unlike other `null-label` inputs, the initial setting of `labels_as_tags` cannot be changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.	`set(string)`	`[ "default" ]`	no

port	Redis port	`number`	`6379`	no
preserve_security_group_id	When `false` and `create_before_destroy` is `true`, changes to security group rules cause a new security group to be created with the new rules, and the existing security group is then replaced with the new one, eliminating any service interruption. When `true` or when changing the value (from `false` to `true` or from `true` to `false`), existing security group rules will be deleted before new ones are created, resulting in a service interruption, but preserving the security group itself. NOTE: Setting this to `true` does not guarantee the security group will never be replaced, it only keeps changes to the security group rules from triggering a replacement. See the README for further discussion.	`bool`	`false`	no
regex_replace_chars	Terraform regular expression (regex) string. Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements. If not set, `"/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/"` is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.	`string`	`null`	no

revoke_rules_on_delete	Instruct Terraform to revoke all of the Security Group's attached ingress and egress rules before deleting the security group itself. This is normally not needed.	`bool`	`false`	no
security_group_create_before_destroy	Set `true` to enable Terraform `create_before_destroy` behavior on the created security group. We only recommend setting this `false` if you are upgrading this module and need to keep the existing security group from being replaced. Note that changing this value will always cause the security group to be replaced.	`bool`	`true`	no
security_group_create_timeout	How long to wait for the security group to be created.	`string`	`"10m"`	no
security_group_delete_timeout	How long to retry on `DependencyViolation` errors during security group deletion.	`string`	`"15m"`	no
security_group_description	The description to assign to the created Security Group. Warning: Changing the description causes the security group to be replaced. Set this to `null` to maintain parity with releases <= `0.34.0`.	`string`	`"Security group for Elasticache Redis"`	no
security_group_name	The name to assign to the security group. Must be unique within the VPC. If not provided, will be derived from the `null-label.context` passed in. If `create_before_destroy` is true, will be used as a name prefix.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
snapshot_arns	A single-element string list containing an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a Redis RDB snapshot file stored in Amazon S3. Example: arn:aws:s3:::my_bucket/snapshot1.rdb	`list(string)`	`[]`	no

subnets	Subnet IDs	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
tags	Additional tags (e.g. `{'BusinessUnit': 'XYZ'}`). Neither the tag keys nor the tag values will be modified by this module.	`map(string)`	`{}`	no
target_security_group_id	The ID of an existing Security Group to which Security Group rules will be assigned. The Security Group's name and description will not be changed. Not compatible with `inline_rules_enabled` or `revoke_rules_on_delete`. If not provided (the default), this module will create a security group.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
tenant	ID element _(Rarely used, not included by default)_. A customer identifier, indicating who this instance of a resource is for	`string`	`null`	no
transit_encryption_enabled	Set `true` to enable encryption in transit. Forced `true` if `var.auth_token` is set. If this is enabled, use the following guide to access redis.	`bool`	`true`	no
use_existing_security_groups	DEPRECATED: Use `create_security_group` instead. Historical description: Flag to enable/disable creation of Security Group in the module.
