cacheNodeType
- The compute and memory capacity of the nodes in the node group (shard).
The following node types are supported by ElastiCache. Generally speaking, the current generation types provide more memory and computational power at lower cost when compared to their equivalent previous generation counterparts.
- General purpose:
