cacheNodeType

Type: string

If you need to scale using Memcached, we recommend forcing a replacement update by changing the LogicalResourceId of the resource.

Specifies whether the nodes in this Memcached cluster are created in a single Availability Zone or created across multiple Availability Zones in the cluster's region.

This parameter is only supported for Memcached clusters.

If the AZMode and PreferredAvailabilityZones are not specified, ElastiCache assumes single-az mode.


cacheParameterGroupName?

Type: string (optional)

The number of Availability Zones listed must equal the value of NumCacheNodes .

If you want all the nodes in the same Availability Zone, use PreferredAvailabilityZone instead, or repeat the Availability Zone multiple times in the list.

Default: System chosen Availability Zones.

The daily time range (in UTC) during which ElastiCache begins taking a daily snapshot of your node group (shard).

Example: 05:00-09:00

If you do not specify this parameter, ElastiCache automatically chooses an appropriate time range.

This parameter is only valid if the Engine parameter is redis .


transitEncryptionEnabled?

Type: boolean | IResolvable (optional)

A flag that enables in-transit encryption when set to true.


vpcSecurityGroupIds?

Type: string[] (optional)

One or more VPC security groups associated with the cluster.

Use this parameter only when you are creating a cluster in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).

addDeletionOverride(path)

public addDeletionOverride(path: string): void

Parameters

  • path string — The path of the value to delete.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).


addDependency(target)

public addDependency(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

  • target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.


addDependsOn(target)⚠️

public addDependsOn(target: CfnResource): void

⚠️ Deprecated: use addDependency

Parameters

  • target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.


addMetadata(key, value)

public addMetadata(key: string, value: any): void

Parameters

  • key string
  • value any

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

See also: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)


addOverride(path, value)

public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Parameters

  • path string — - The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.
  • value any — - The value.

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with "Properties." (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes', ['myattribute']);
cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType', 'INCLUDE');

would add the overrides

"Properties": {
  "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
    {
      "Projection": {
        "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
        ...
      }
      ...
    },
    {
      "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
      ...
    },
  ]
  ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.


addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath)

public addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath: string): void

Parameters

  • propertyPath string — The path to the property.

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.


addPropertyOverride(propertyPath, value)

public addPropertyOverride(propertyPath: string, value: any): void

Parameters

  • propertyPath string — The path of the property.
  • value any — The value.

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).


applyRemovalPolicy(policy?, options?)

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy?: RemovalPolicy, options?: RemovalPolicyOptions): void

Parameters

  • policy RemovalPolicy
  • options RemovalPolicyOptions

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN). In some cases, a snapshot can be taken of the resource prior to deletion (RemovalPolicy.SNAPSHOT). A list of resources that support this policy can be found in the following link:

getAtt(attributeName, typeHint?)

public getAtt(attributeName: string, typeHint?: ResolutionTypeHint): Reference

Parameters

  • attributeName string — The name of the attribute.
  • typeHint ResolutionTypeHint

Returns

  • Reference

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.


getMetadata(key)

public getMetadata(key: string): any

Parameters

  • key string

Returns

  • any

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

See also: [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)


inspect(inspector)

public inspect(inspector: TreeInspector): void

Parameters

  • inspector TreeInspector — - tree inspector to collect and process attributes.

Examines the CloudFormation resource and discloses attributes.


obtainDependencies()

public obtainDependencies(): Stack &#124; CfnResource[]

Returns

  • Stack | CfnResource[]

Overrides the auto-generated logical ID with a specific ID.


removeDependency(target)

public removeDependency(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

  • target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource no longer depends on another resource.

This can be used for resources across stacks (including nested stacks) and the dependency will automatically be removed from the relevant scope.


replaceDependency(target, newTarget)

public replaceDependency(target: CfnResource, newTarget: CfnResource): void

Parameters

  • target CfnResource — The dependency to replace.
  • newTarget CfnResource — The new dependency to add.

Replaces one dependency with another.


toString()

public toString(): string

Returns

  • string

Returns a string representation of this construct.


protected renderProperties(props)
