Overview

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

Assets Produced

  1. TODO

Tagging Strategy

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

Prerequisites

Building

There is noting to build.

Installation

There is nothing to install.

Tips and Tricks

Creating The Stack

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]

Destroying The Stack

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

Creation Via The Console

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