Challenge
Scale a Simple Cluster by Increasing Node Size
Reconfigure an existing ElastiCache Redis cluster by increasing the size of the primary node.
Challenge
Add Additional Replica Nodes to a Redis Cluster
Reconfigure an existing ElastiCache Redis replication-enabled cluster by increasing the number of replica nodes in the single available shard.
Challenge
Downgrade Redis Cluster Storage Capacity by Downsizing Node Type
You will take a backup of the related ElastiCache cluster and restore that backup into a new cluster using a smaller node type.
Challenge
Increase Cluster Access Capacity by Adding a Shard to a Redis Cluster
Increasing the number of shards in a cluster will spread data over more availability zones as well as increase total read capacity for a cluster.
