Note

You are viewing the documentation for an older version of boto (boto2).

Boto3, the next version of Boto, is now stable and recommended for general use. It can be used side-by-side with Boto in the same project, so it is easy to start using Boto3 in your existing projects as well as new projects. Going forward, API updates and all new feature work will be focused on Boto3.

For more information, see the documentation for boto3.

boto.elasticache.layer1

class boto.elasticache.layer1.ElastiCacheConnection(**kwargs)

Amazon ElastiCache Amazon ElastiCache is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a distributed cache in the cloud.

With ElastiCache, customers gain all of the benefits of a high- performance, in-memory cache with far less of the administrative burden of launching and managing a distributed cache. The service makes set-up, scaling, and cluster failure handling much simpler than in a self-managed cache deployment.

In addition, through integration with Amazon CloudWatch, customers get enhanced visibility into the key performance statistics associated with their cache and can receive alarms if a part of their cache runs hot.

APIVersion = '2013-06-15'
DefaultRegionEndpoint = 'elasticache.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'
DefaultRegionName = 'us-east-1'
authorize_cache_security_group_ingress(cache_security_group_name, ec2_security_group_name, ec2_security_group_owner_id)

The AuthorizeCacheSecurityGroupIngress operation allows network ingress to a cache security group. Applications using ElastiCache must be running on Amazon EC2, and Amazon EC2 security groups are used as the authorization mechanism. You cannot authorize ingress from an Amazon EC2 security group in one Region to an ElastiCache cluster in another Region.

Parameters:
  • cache_security_group_name (string) – The cache security group which will allow network ingress.
  • ec2_security_group_name (string) – The Amazon EC2 security group to be authorized for ingress to the cache security group.
  • ec2_security_group_owner_id (string) – The AWS account number of the Amazon EC2 security group owner. Note that this is not the same thing as an AWS access key ID - you must provide a valid AWS account number for this parameter.

Parameters:
  • replication_group_id (string) – The identifier of the replication group to modify.
  • replication_group_description (string) – A description for the replication group. Maximum length is 255 characters.
  • cache_security_group_names (list) – A list of cache security group names to authorize for the clusters in this replication group. This change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible.
This parameter can be used only with replication groups containing
cache clusters running outside of an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
Constraints: Must contain no more than 255 alphanumeric characters.
Must not be “Default”.
Parameters:security_group_ids (list) – Specifies the VPC Security Groups associated with the cache clusters in the replication group.
This parameter can be used only with replication groups containing
cache clusters running in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
Parameters:
  • preferred_maintenance_window (string) – The weekly time range (in UTC) during which replication group system maintenance can occur. Note that system maintenance may result in an outage. This change is made immediately. If you are moving this window to the current time, there must be at least 120 minutes between the current time and end of the window to ensure that pending changes are applied.
  • notification_topic_arn (string) –
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the SNS topic to which notifications
will be sent.

The SNS topic owner must be same as the replication group owner.

Parameters:
  • cache_parameter_group_name (string) – The name of the cache parameter group to apply to all of the cache nodes in this replication group. This change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible for parameters when the ApplyImmediately parameter is specified as true for this request.
  • notification_topic_status (string) – The status of the Amazon SNS notification topic for the replication group. Notifications are sent only if the status is active .

Valid values: active | inactive

Parameters:apply_immediately (boolean) – If True, this parameter causes the modifications in this request and any pending modifications to be applied, asynchronously and as soon as possible, regardless of the PreferredMaintenanceWindow setting for the replication group.
If False, then changes to the nodes in the replication group are
applied on the next maintenance reboot, or the next failure reboot, whichever occurs first.

Valid values: True | False

Default: False

Parameters:
  • engine_version (string) – The upgraded version of the cache engine to be run on the nodes in the replication group..
  • auto_minor_version_upgrade (boolean) – Determines whether minor engine upgrades will be applied automatically to all of the cache nodes in the replication group during the maintenance window. A value of True allows these upgrades to occur; False disables automatic upgrades.
  • primary_cluster_id (string) – If this parameter is specified, ElastiCache will promote each of the nodes in the specified cache cluster to the primary role. The nodes of all other clusters in the replication group will be read replicas.
purchase_reserved_cache_nodes_offering(reserved_cache_nodes_offering_id, reserved_cache_node_id=None, cache_node_count=None)

The PurchaseReservedCacheNodesOffering operation allows you to purchase a reserved cache node offering.

Parameters:reserved_cache_nodes_offering_id (string) – The ID of the reserved cache node offering to purchase.

Example: 438012d3-4052-4cc7-b2e3-8d3372e0e706

Parameters:reserved_cache_node_id (string) – A customer-specified identifier to track this reservation.

Example: myreservationID

Parameters:cache_node_count (integer) – The number of cache node instances to reserve.

Default: 1

reboot_cache_cluster(cache_cluster_id, cache_node_ids_to_reboot)

The RebootCacheCluster operation reboots some, or all, of the cache cluster nodes within a provisioned cache cluster. This API will apply any modified cache parameter groups to the cache cluster. The reboot action takes place as soon as possible, and results in a momentary outage to the cache cluster. During the reboot, the cache cluster status is set to REBOOTING.

The reboot causes the contents of the cache (for each cache cluster node being rebooted) to be lost.

When the reboot is complete, a cache cluster event is created.

Parameters:
  • cache_cluster_id (string) – The cache cluster identifier. This parameter is stored as a lowercase string.
  • cache_node_ids_to_reboot (list) – A list of cache cluster node IDs to reboot. A node ID is a numeric identifier (0001, 0002, etc.). To reboot an entire cache cluster, specify all of the cache cluster node IDs.
reset_cache_parameter_group(cache_parameter_group_name, parameter_name_values, reset_all_parameters=None)

The ResetCacheParameterGroup operation modifies the parameters of a cache parameter group to the engine or system default value. You can reset specific parameters by submitting a list of parameter names. To reset the entire cache parameter group, specify the ResetAllParameters and CacheParameterGroupName parameters.

Parameters:
  • cache_parameter_group_name (string) – The name of the cache parameter group to reset.
  • reset_all_parameters (boolean) – If true , all parameters in the cache parameter group will be reset to default values. If false , no such action occurs.

Valid values: True | False

Parameters:parameter_name_values (list) – An array of parameter names to be reset. If you are not resetting the entire cache parameter group, you must specify at least one parameter name.
revoke_cache_security_group_ingress(cache_security_group_name, ec2_security_group_name, ec2_security_group_owner_id)

The RevokeCacheSecurityGroupIngress operation revokes ingress from a cache security group. Use this operation to disallow access from an Amazon EC2 security group that had been previously authorized.

Parameters:
  • cache_security_group_name (string) – The name of the cache security group to revoke ingress from.
  • ec2_security_group_name (string) – The name of the Amazon EC2 security group to revoke access from.
  • ec2_security_group_owner_id (string) – The AWS account number of the Amazon EC2 security group owner. Note that this is not the same thing as an AWS access key ID - you must provide a valid AWS account number for this parameter.
