increase-replica-count¶

Description¶

Dynamically increases the number of replicas in a Redis (cluster mode disabled) replication group or the number of replica nodes in one or more node groups (shards) of a Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group. This operation is performed with no cluster down time.

Synopsis¶

  increase-replica-count
--replication-group-id <value>
[--new-replica-count <value>]
[--replica-configuration <value>]
--apply-immediately | --no-apply-immediately
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--replication-group-id (string)

The id of the replication group to which you want to add replica nodes.

--new-replica-count (integer)

The number of read replica nodes you want at the completion of this operation. For Redis (cluster mode disabled) replication groups, this is the number of replica nodes in the replication group. For Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication groups, this is the number of replica nodes in each of the replication group’s node groups.

--replica-configuration (list)

A list of ConfigureShard objects that can be used to configure each shard in a Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group. The ConfigureShard has three members: NewReplicaCount , NodeGroupId , and PreferredAvailabilityZones .

(structure)

Node group (shard) configuration options when adding or removing replicas. Each node group (shard) configuration has the following members: NodeGroupId, NewReplicaCount, and PreferredAvailabilityZones.

NodeGroupId -> (string)

The 4-digit id for the node group you are configuring. For Redis (cluster mode disabled) replication groups, the node group id is always 0001. To find a Redis (cluster mode enabled)’s node group’s (shard’s) id, see Finding a Shard’s Id .

NewReplicaCount -> (integer)

The number of replicas you want in this node group at the end of this operation. The maximum value for NewReplicaCount is 5. The minimum value depends upon the type of Redis replication group you are working with.

The minimum number of replicas in a shard or replication group is:

Redis (cluster mode disabled)

If Multi-AZ: 1

If Multi-AZ: 0

Redis (cluster mode enabled): 0 (though you will not be able to failover to a replica if your primary node fails)

PreferredAvailabilityZones -> (list)

A list of PreferredAvailabilityZone strings that specify which availability zones the replication group’s nodes are to be in. The nummber of PreferredAvailabilityZone values must equal the value of NewReplicaCount plus 1 to account for the primary node. If this member of ReplicaConfiguration is omitted, ElastiCache for Redis selects the availability zone for each of the replicas.

(string)

PreferredOutpostArns -> (list)

The outpost ARNs in which the cache cluster is created.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

NodeGroupId=string,NewReplicaCount=integer,PreferredAvailabilityZones=string,string,PreferredOutpostArns=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "NodeGroupId": "string",
    "NewReplicaCount": integer,
    "PreferredAvailabilityZones": ["string", ...],
    "PreferredOutpostArns": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--apply-immediately | --no-apply-immediately (boolean)

If True , the number of replica nodes is increased immediately. ApplyImmediately=False is not currently supported.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To increase replica count

The following increase-replica-count example does one of two things. It can dynamically increase the number of replicas in a Redis (cluster mode disabled) replication group. Or it can dynamically increase the number of replica nodes in one or more node groups (shards) of a Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group. This operation is performed with no cluster downtime.

aws elasticache increase-replica-count \
    --replication-group-id "my-cluster" \
    --apply-immediately \
    --new-replica-count 3
