increase-replica-count¶

Description¶

Dynamically increases the number of replicas in a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) replication group or the number of replica nodes in one or more node groups (shards) of a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) replication group. This operation is performed with no cluster down time.

Options¶

--replication-group-id (string)

The id of the replication group to which you want to add replica nodes.

--new-replica-count (integer)

The number of read replica nodes you want at the completion of this operation. For Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) replication groups, this is the number of replica nodes in the replication group. For Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) replication groups, this is the number of replica nodes in each of the replication group's node groups.

--replica-configuration (list)

A list of ConfigureShard objects that can be used to configure each shard in a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled) replication group. The ConfigureShard has three members: NewReplicaCount , NodeGroupId , and PreferredAvailabilityZones .

(structure)

Node group (shard) configuration options when adding or removing replicas. Each node group (shard) configuration has the following members: NodeGroupId, NewReplicaCount, and PreferredAvailabilityZones.

NodeGroupId -> (string)

The 4-digit id for the node group you are configuring. For Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled) replication groups, the node group id is always 0001. To find a Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled)'s node group's (shard's) id, see Finding a Shard's Id .

NewReplicaCount -> (integer)

The number of replicas you want in this node group at the end of this operation. The maximum value for NewReplicaCount is 5. The minimum value depends upon the type of Valkey or Redis OSS replication group you are working with.

The minimum number of replicas in a shard or replication group is:

Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode disabled)

If Multi-AZ: 1

If Multi-AZ: 0

Valkey or Redis OSS (cluster mode enabled): 0 (though you will not be able to failover to a replica if your primary node fails)

PreferredAvailabilityZones -> (list)

A list of PreferredAvailabilityZone strings that specify which availability zones the replication group's nodes are to be in. The nummber of PreferredAvailabilityZone values must equal the value of NewReplicaCount plus 1 to account for the primary node. If this member of ReplicaConfiguration is omitted, ElastiCache selects the availability zone for each of the replicas.

(string)

PreferredOutpostArns -> (list)

The outpost ARNs in which the cache cluster is created.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

NodeGroupId=string,NewReplicaCount=integer,PreferredAvailabilityZones=string,string,PreferredOutpostArns=string,string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "NodeGroupId": "string",
    "NewReplicaCount": integer,
    "PreferredAvailabilityZones": ["string", ...],
    "PreferredOutpostArns": ["string", ...]
  }
  ...
]

--apply-immediately | --no-apply-immediately (boolean)

If True , the number of replica nodes is increased immediately. ApplyImmediately=False is not currently supported.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To increase replica count

The following increase-replica-count example does one of two things. It can dynamically increase the number of replicas in a Redis (cluster mode disabled) replication group. Or it can dynamically increase the number of replica nodes in one or more node groups (shards) of a Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group. This operation is performed with no cluster downtime.
