Workflows

cache-cluster-lifecycle
Create, confirm, and tear down a cache cluster with a final snapshot.
Creates a cache cluster, polls until it reports it is available, then deletes it while capturing a final snapshot.
3 steps inputs: CacheClusterId, CacheNodeType, Engine, FinalSnapshotIdentifier, NumCacheNodes outputs: cacheClusterId, cacheClusterStatus, deletedClusterId
1
createCluster
createCacheCluster
Submit a CreateCacheCluster request for the supplied identifier and node configuration. The cluster attributes travel in the form-encoded body.
2
pollCluster
describeCacheClusters
Describe the just-created cluster and confirm it has reached an available status before exercising or deleting it.
3
deleteCluster
deleteCacheCluster
Delete the cluster while naming a FinalSnapshotIdentifier so a final snapshot is taken before teardown. The cluster identifier and snapshot name travel in the form-encoded body.

  title: Amazon ElastiCache Cache Cluster Lifecycle
  summary: Create a cache cluster, confirm it, then delete it with a final snapshot.
  description: >-
    Walks an Amazon ElastiCache cache cluster through a full short-lived
    lifecycle. The workflow creates a cluster, polls DescribeCacheClusters to
    confirm it has come online, and then deletes the cluster while capturing a
    final snapshot so any data is preserved. This is useful for ephemeral or
    test clusters that must be stood up, exercised, and torn down cleanly. Every
    step spells out its request inline so the flow can be read and executed
    without opening the underlying OpenAPI description. Requests use the AWS query
    (x-www-form-urlencoded) protocol with the Action and Version query parameters
    that the ElastiCache API requires.
