This project is a Terraform module that creates a Redis ElastiCache instance.

This fork removes local region declaration, to be used as part of your wider tf vars (in your VPC).

Details about this project are contained in the guidebook and should be considered mandatory reading prior to contributing to this project.

• Terraform installed and working
• Development and testing was done on Ubuntu Linux

Since this is just a collection of Terraform scripts, there is nothing to build.

This module is not installed but, instead, is obtained by the project using the module. See kurron/terraform-environments for example usage.

The debug folder contains files that can be used to test out local changes to the module. Edit backend.cfg and plan.tf to your liking and then run debug/debug-module.sh to test your changes.

This module, unlike many of my other modules, provides default values for many of the options. I decided to this because I felt it was too cumbersome to expect a user to supply 15+ properties. Make sure to examine the variables.tf to see the full list of configurable options. Look at debug/plan.tf for an example of how to call the module.

If you use the smaller node types, such as cache.t2.micro, cache.t2.small or cache.t2.medium, snapshotting is not permitted. You need to set snapshot_window to a blank value and snapshot_retention_limit to 0 otherwise you will get an error.
