Amazon CLI

The following Amazon CLI example creates a new cache using create-serverless-cache.

Linux

aws elasticache create-serverless-cache \
    --serverless-cache-name CacheName \
    --engine valkey

Windows

aws elasticache create-serverless-cache ^
    --serverless-cache-name CacheName ^
    --engine valkey

Note that the value of the Status field is set to CREATING.

To verify that ElastiCache has finished creating the cache, use the describe-serverless-caches command.
