This project is a CloudFormation template that inserts a new ElastiCache cluster into an existing VPC.

1. TODO

The following tags are applied to assets that allow tagging:

• Project - useful for generating cost reports, defaults to Weapon-X
• Purpose - what role the asset plays in the VPC, eg ECS Agent
• Creator - the entity creating the assets, defaults to CloudFormation
• Environment - the context the assets are a part of, defaults to development
• Freetext - place holder for asset-specific notes, meant to be adjusted in the console if needed

• a working AW CLI
• you have run aws configure, providing the required information
• a working VPC [based on this template]https://github.com/kurron/cloud-formation-vpc)

There is noting to build.

There is nothing to install.

There is a convenience Bash script that can be run to create a new cluster. If you just want to test things out run scripts/create-stack.sh. In several moments, your cluster should be created. Check your AWS console for confirmation.

If you want to specify certain aspects of the stack, try running something like this: scripts/create-stack.sh production-cluster Phoenix production [email protected]. This form provides the following:

• stack name of production-cluster
• project name of Phoenix
• environment name of production
• creator of [email protected]

There is a convenience script for destroying clusters. Run scripts/destroy-stack.sh production-cluster to destroy the cluster we created above.

TODO: need to talk about getting the elasticache.yml file into S3 so that the console can see it
