# salt.states.boto3_elasticache

## Manage Elasticache with boto3

Added in version 2017.7.0.

Create, destroy and update Elasticache clusters. Be aware that this interacts with Amazon's services, and so may incur charges.

This module uses boto3 behind the scenes - as a result it inherits any limitations it boto3's implementation of the AWS API. It is also designed to as directly as possible leverage boto3's parameter naming and semantics. This allows one to use http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/services/elasticache.html as an excellent source for details too involved to reiterate here.

Note: This module is designed to be transparent ("intentionally ignorant" is the phrase I used to describe it to my boss) to new AWS / boto options - since all AWS API params are passed directly through both the state and executions modules, any new args to existing functions which become available after this documentation is written should work immediately.

Brand new API calls, of course, would still require new functions to be added :)

This module accepts explicit elasticache credentials but can also utilize IAM roles assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic credentials are then automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More information is available here.

If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a pillar file or in the minion's config file:

    elasticache.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
    elasticache.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

It's also possible to specify `key`, `keyid` and `region` via a profile, either passed in as a dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

    myprofile:
      keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
      key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
        region: us-east-1

    Ensure myelasticache exists:
      boto3_elasticache.present:
        - name: myelasticache
        - engine: redis
        - cache_node_type: cache.t1.micro

salt.states.boto3_elasticache.cache_cluster_absent(name, wait=600, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None, **args)

  Ensure a given cache cluster is deleted.

  name

    Name of the cache cluster.

  wait

    Integer describing how long, in seconds, to wait for confirmation from AWS that the resource is in the desired state. Zero meaning to return success or failure immediately of course. Note that waiting for the cluster to become available is generally the better course, as failure to do so will often lead to subsequent failures when managing dependent resources.

  CacheClusterId

    The node group (shard) identifier. Note: In general this parameter is not needed, as 'name' is used if it's not provided.

  FinalSnapshotIdentifier

    The user-supplied name of a final cache cluster snapshot. This is the unique name that identifies the snapshot. ElastiCache creates the snapshot, and then deletes the cache cluster immediately afterward.

  region

    Region to connect to.

  key

    Secret key to be used.

  keyid

    Access key to be used.

  profile

    A dict with region, key and keyid, or a pillar key (string) that contains a dict with region, key and keyid.

salt.states.boto3_elasticache.cache_cluster_present(name, wait=900, security_groups=None, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None, **args)

  Ensure a given cache cluster exists.

  name

    Name of the cache cluster (cache cluster id).

  wait

    Integer describing how long, in seconds, to wait for confirmation from AWS that the resource is in the desired state. Zero meaning to return success or failure immediately of course. Note that waiting for the cluster to become available is generally the better course, as failure to do so will often lead to subsequent failures when managing dependent resources.

  security_groups

    One or more VPC security groups (names and/or IDs) associated with the cache cluster.

    Note

    This is additive with any sec groups provided via the SecurityGroupIds parameter below. Use this parameter ONLY when you are creating a cluster in a VPC.

  CacheClusterId

    The node group (shard) identifier. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.

    Constraints:

    - A name must contain from 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters or hyphens.

    - The first character must be a letter.

    - A name cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

    Note

    In general this parameter is not needed, as 'name' is used if it's not provided.

  ReplicationGroupId

    The ID of the replication group to which this cache cluster should belong. If this parameter is specified, the cache cluster is added to the specified replication group as a read replica; otherwise, the cache cluster is a standalone primary that is not part of any replication group. If the specified replication group is Multi-AZ enabled and the Availability Zone is not specified, the cache cluster is created in Availability Zones that provide the best spread of read replicas across Availability Zones.

  AZMode

    Specifies whether the nodes in this Memcached cluster are created in a single Availability Zone or created across multiple Availability Zones in the cluster's region. If the AZMode and PreferredAvailabilityZones are not specified, ElastiCache assumes single-az mode.

    Note

    This parameter is ONLY supported for Memcached cache clusters.

  PreferredAvailabilityZone

    The EC2 Availability Zone in which the cache cluster is created. All nodes belonging to this Memcached cache cluster are placed in the preferred Availability Zone. If you want to create your nodes across multiple Availability Zones, use PreferredAvailabilityZones.

    Default: System chosen Availability Zone.

  PreferredAvailabilityZones

    A list of the Availability Zones in which cache nodes are created. The order of the zones in the list is not important. The number of Availability Zones listed must equal the value of NumCacheNodes. If you want all the nodes in the same Availability Zone, use PreferredAvailabilityZone instead, or repeat the Availability Zone multiple times in the list.

    Default: System chosen Availability Zones.

    Note

    This option is ONLY supported on Memcached.

    If you are creating your cache cluster in an Amazon VPC (recommended) you can only locate nodes in Availability Zones that are associated with the subnets in the selected subnet group.

  NumCacheNodes

    The initial (integer) number of cache nodes that the cache cluster has.

    Note

    For clusters running Redis, this value must be 1.

    For clusters running Memcached, this value must be between 1 and 20.

  CacheNodeType

    The compute and memory capacity of the nodes in the node group (shard). Valid node types (and pricing for them) are exhaustively described at https://aws.amazon.com/elasticache/pricing/

    Note

    > All T2 instances must be created in a VPC

    Redis backup/restore is not supported for Redis (cluster mode disabled) T1 and T2 instances. Backup/restore is supported on Redis (cluster mode enabled) T2 instances.

    Redis Append-only files (AOF) functionality is not supported for T1 or T2 instances.

  Engine

    The name of the cache engine to be used for this cache cluster. Valid values for this parameter are: memcached | redis

  EngineVersion

    The version number of the cache engine to be used for this cache cluster. To view the supported cache engine versions, use the DescribeCacheEngineVersions operation.

    Note

    You can upgrade to a newer engine version but you cannot downgrade to an earlier engine version. If you want to use an earlier engine version, you must delete the existing cache cluster or replication group and create it anew with the earlier engine version.

  CacheParameterGroupName

    The name of the parameter group to associate with this cache cluster. If this argument is omitted, the default parameter group for the specified engine is used. You cannot use any parameter group which has cluster-enabled='yes' when creating a cluster.

  CacheSubnetGroupName

    The name of the Cache Subnet Group to be used for the cache cluster. Use this parameter ONLY when you are creating a cache cluster within a VPC.

    Note

    If you're going to launch your cluster in an Amazon VPC, you need to create a subnet group before you start creating a cluster.

  CacheSecurityGroupNames

    A list of Cache Security Group names to associate with this cache cluster. Use this parameter ONLY when you are creating a cache cluster outside of a VPC.

  SecurityGroupIds

    One or more VPC security groups associated with the cache cluster. Use this parameter ONLY when you are creating a cache cluster within a VPC.

  Tags

    A list of tags to be added to this resource. Note that due to shortcomings in the AWS API for Elasticache, these can only be set during resource creation - later modification is not (currently) supported.

  SnapshotArns

    A single-element string list containing an Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies a Redis RDB snapshot file stored in Amazon S3. The snapshot file is used to populate the node group (shard). The Amazon S3 object name in the ARN cannot contain any commas.

    Note

    This parameter is ONLY valid if the Engine parameter is redis.

  SnapshotName

    The name of a Redis snapshot from which to restore data into the new node group (shard). The snapshot status changes to restoring while the new node group (shard) is being created.

    Note

    This parameter is ONLY valid if the Engine parameter is redis.

  PreferredMaintenanceWindow

    Specifies the weekly time range during which maintenance on the cache cluster is permitted. 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

    The port number on which each of the cache nodes accepts connections.

    Default: 6379

  NotificationTopicArn

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) topic to which notifications are sent.

    Note

    The Amazon SNS topic owner must be the same as the cache cluster owner.

  AutoMinorVersionUpgrade

    This (boolean) parameter is currently disabled.

  SnapshotRetentionLimit

    The number of days for which ElastiCache retains automatic snapshots before deleting them.

    Default: 0 (i.e., automatic backups are disabled for this cache cluster).

    Note

    This parameter is ONLY valid if the Engine parameter is redis.

  SnapshotWindow

    The daily time range (in UTC) during which ElastiCache begins taking a daily snapshot of your node group (shard). If you do not specify this parameter, ElastiCache automatically chooses an appropriate time range.

    Example: 05:00-09:00

    Note

    This parameter is ONLY valid if the Engine parameter is redis.

  AuthToken

    The password used to access a password protected server.

    Password constraints:

    - Must be only printable ASCII characters.

    - Must be at least 16 characters and no more than 128 characters in length.

    - Cannot contain any of the following characters: '/', '"', or "@".

  CacheNodeIdsToRemove

    A list of cache node IDs to be removed. A node ID is a numeric identifier (0001, 0002, etc.). This parameter is only valid when NumCacheNodes is less than the existing number of cache nodes. The number of cache node IDs supplied in this parameter must match the difference between the existing number of cache nodes in the cluster or pending cache nodes, whichever is greater, and the value of NumCacheNodes in the request.

  NewAvailabilityZones

    The list of Availability Zones where the new Memcached cache nodes are created. This parameter is only valid when NumCacheNodes in the request is greater than the sum of the number of active cache nodes and the number of cache nodes pending creation (which may be zero). The number of Availability Zones supplied in this list must match the cache nodes being added in this request. Note: This option is only supported on Memcached clusters.

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

    Default: System chosen Availability Zones.

    Note

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