can we create a new replication group, repopulate it, bring over the consumers and only then remove the old cluster?
Have a dedicated Redis secret policy only to the redis consumer?
Then there are some small nits.
- Introduced a new local variable for the Redis replication group ID to enhance maintainability. - Updated CloudWatch dashboard metrics to reference the new Redis cluster ID variable. - Removed unused random password resource and Secrets Manager secret for Redis authentication. - Replaced the ElastiCache replication group resource with a cluster resource for simplified configuration. - Added a CloudFormation stack to manage Redis replication group and its authentication token securely. These changes streamline the Redis setup and improve the security of authentication management.
