Amazon Redshift template snippets

Amazon Redshift is a fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. You can use Amazon CloudFormation to provision and manage Amazon Redshift clusters.

Amazon Redshift cluster

The following sample template creates an Amazon Redshift cluster according to the parameter values that are specified when the stack is created. The cluster parameter group that is associated with the Amazon Redshift cluster enables user activity logging. The template also launches the Amazon Redshift clusters in an Amazon VPC that is defined in the template. The VPC includes an internet gateway so that you can access the Amazon Redshift clusters from the Internet. However, the communication between the cluster and the Internet gateway must also be enabled, which is done by the route table entry.

Note

The template includes the IsMultiNodeCluster condition so that the NumberOfNodes parameter is declared only when the ClusterType parameter value is set to multi-node.

The example defines the MysqlRootPassword parameter with its NoEcho property set to true. If you set the NoEcho attribute to true, CloudFormation returns the parameter value masked as asterisks (*****) for any calls that describe the stack or stack events, except for information stored in the locations specified below.

Important

Using the NoEcho attribute does not mask any information stored in the following:

  • The Metadata template section. CloudFormation does not transform, modify, or redact any information you include in the Metadata section. For more information, see Metadata.

  • The Outputs template section. For more information, see Outputs.

  • The Metadata attribute of a resource definition. For more information, see Metadata attribute.

We strongly recommend you do not use these mechanisms to include sensitive information, such as passwords or secrets.

Important

Rather than embedding sensitive information directly in your CloudFormation templates, we recommend you use dynamic parameters in the stack template to reference sensitive information that is stored and managed outside of CloudFormation, such as in the Amazon Systems Manager Parameter Store or Amazon Secrets Manager.

For more information, see the Do not embed credentials in your templates best practice.
