In today's tutorial,we are going to learn a super-fast,In-Memory Caching Service offered by Amazon , its Amazon ElastiCache !!!

We will cover the following topics -
1.What is an Amazon ElastiCache, its features .
2. The two variants of Amazon ElastiCache which are Amazon ElastiCache for Redis and Amazon ElastiCache for MemCached
3. The key differences between both of these variants.
4. Hands-on-Lab


Amazon ElastiCache is a fully managed, Redis- and Memcached-compatible service delivering real-time, cost-optimized performance for modern applications.

ElastiCache scales to hundreds of millions of operations per second with microsecond response time, and offers enterprise-grade security and reliability.

Improves the performance of web applications by allowing us to retrieve information from a fast, managed, in-memory system, instead of relying entirely on slower disk-based databases.

The service simplifies and offloads the management, monitoring and operation of in-memory environments.

Using Amazon ElastiCache, a caching or in-memory layer can be added to application architecture via the AWS Management Console , using API or CLI.

Once a cluster is provisioned, Amazon ElastiCache automatically detects and replaces failed nodes, providing a resilient system that mitigates the risk of overloaded databases, which slow website and application load times.

Through integration with Amazon CloudWatch monitoring, Amazon ElastiCache provides enhanced visibility into key performance metrics associated with nodes.

The in-memory caching provided by Amazon ElastiCache can be used to significantly improve latency and throughput for many read-heavy application workloads (such as social networking, gaming, media sharing and Q&A portals) or compute-intensive workloads (such as a recommendation engine).

In-memory caching improves application performance by storing critical pieces of data in memory for low-latency access.

Attain 99.99% SLA with Multi-AZ deployments and achieve disaster recovery in less than a minute through cross-Region replication.

Achieve cost-optimized performance by adding a cache for frequently read data to optimize resources and lower total cost of ownership

Build applications quickly using popular open-source technologies, Redis and Memcached, and easily integrate with other AWS services.
