Amazon ElastiCache launches self-service updates for Memcached and Redis Cache Clusters

Posted on: Oct 9, 2019

You can now use ElastiCache self-service updates feature to apply updates on Memcached and Redis cache clusters, in addition to Redis replication groups at the time of your choosing and track the progress in real-time.

When service updates applicable to your Memcached or Redis clusters become available, we will notify you via multiple channels including ElastiCache console, Emails, Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), AWS Personal Health Dashboard (PHD) and Amazon CloudWatch Events.

You can start using self-service updates via the ‘Service Updates’ page in the Amazon ElastiCache console, AWS ElastiCache API and AWS CLI. The self-service updates feature is available in all AWS Regions for Memcached and Redis cache clusters, and Redis replication groups. For more information about this feature, see ElastiCache for Memcached Service Updates and ElastiCache for Redis Service Updates.
