Provides AWS CloudFormation patterns for ElastiCache Redis or Memcached infrastructure, including subnet groups, parameter groups, security controls, and cross-stack outputs. Use when designing cache tiers, high-availability replication groups, encryption settings, or reusable CloudFormation templates for application caching.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# AWS CloudFormation ElastiCache

## Overview

Use this skill to model ElastiCache infrastructure with CloudFormation without turning `SKILL.md` into a full service manual.

Focus on the delivery decisions that matter most:
- choosing the right cache topology
- placing the cache safely inside a VPC
- configuring availability, encryption, and exports for downstream stacks

Use the bundled `references/` documents for larger production templates and service-specific detail.

## When to Use

Use this skill when:
- creating a Redis or Memcached cache tier with CloudFormation
- deciding between `AWS::ElastiCache::CacheCluster` and `AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroup`
- configuring subnet groups, parameter groups, and security groups for application access
- adding snapshots, maintenance windows, encryption, and Multi-AZ behavior
- exporting cache endpoints to application or platform stacks
- reviewing cache changes for replacement risk, downtime, or operational cost

Typical trigger phrases include `cloudformation elasticache`, `redis replication group`, `memcached cluster`, `cache subnet group`, and `export redis endpoint`.

## Instructions

### 1. Choose the cache topology first

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add giuseppe-trisciuoglio/developer-kit/aws-cloudformation-elasticache@sha256:b4d18acf4ea6128c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260323.2528036, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
