I am trying to set up a cache cluster on AWS via terraform. I want to use the engine 'Valkey'. I am getting the following error when I run terraform plan: The only acceptable Engine type when using Replication Groups is Redis
. From AWS documentation I thought this would be supported, but maybe this is just a limitation with terraform? From terraform documentation I also thought this should be supported: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/data-sources/elasticache_replication_group
Below is my terraform:
resource "aws_elasticache_replication_group" "cluster_valkey" {
replication_group_id = "abc"
replication_group_description = "abc"
node_type = "abc"
port = "abc"
parameter_group_name = "abc"
engine = "valkey"
engine_version = "7.2"
subnet_group_name = "abc"
security_group_ids = "abc"
cluster_mode {
num_node_groups = "2"
replicas_per_node_group = "1"
}
automatic_failover_enabled = true
apply_immediately = true
tags = {
...
}
}
Is this not supported by AWS or am I missing something here?
Which version of the provider are you using? The documentation reference you provided is for data sources rather than resources, so this would be a better reference: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/elasticache_global_replication_group#engine-1.
resource "aws_elasticache_replication_group" "primary" {
replication_group_id = "example-primary"
description = "primary replication group"
engine = "valkey"
engine_version = "7.0" # or whichever version you need
node_type = "cache.m5.large"
num_cache_clusters = 1
}
