Getting started with MemoryDB - Amazon MemoryDB
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Getting started with MemoryDB

This exercise leads you through the steps to create, grant access to, connect to, and finally delete a MemoryDB cluster using the MemoryDB Management Console.

Note

For the purposes of this exercise, we recommend you use the Easy create option when creating a cluster and return to the other two options once you have further explored MemoryDB's features.

Step 1: Setting up

Following, you can find topics that describe the one-time actions you must take to start using MemoryDB.

Sign up for an Amazon Web Services account

If you do not have an Amazon Web Services account, use the following procedure to create one.

To sign up for Amazon Web Services
  1. Open http://www.amazonaws.cn/ and choose Sign Up.

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Amazon sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by going to http://www.amazonaws.cn/ and choosing My Account.

Secure IAM users

After you sign up for an Amazon Web Services account, safeguard your administrative user by turning on multi-factor authentication (MFA). For instructions, see Enable a virtual MFA device for an IAM user (console) in the IAM User Guide.

To give other users access to your Amazon Web Services account resources, create IAM users. To secure your IAM users, turn on MFA and only give the IAM users the permissions needed to perform their tasks.

For more information about creating and securing IAM users, see the following topics in the IAM User Guide:

Grant programmatic access

Users need programmatic access if they want to interact with Amazon outside of the Amazon Web Services Management Console. The Amazon APIs and the Amazon Command Line Interface require access keys. Whenever possible, create temporary credentials that consist of an access key ID, a secret access key, and a security token that indicates when the credentials expire.

To grant users programmatic access, choose one of the following options.

Which user needs programmatic access? To By
IAM Use short-term credentials to sign programmatic requests to the Amazon CLI or Amazon APIs (directly or by using the Amazon SDKs). Following the instructions in Using temporary credentials with Amazon resources in the IAM User Guide.
IAM

(Not recommended)

Use long-term credentials to sign programmatic requests to the Amazon CLI or Amazon APIs (directly or by using the Amazon SDKs).
Following the instructions in Managing access keys for IAM users in the IAM User Guide.

Set up your permissions (new MemoryDB users only)

To provide access, add permissions to your users, groups, or roles:

MemoryDB creates and uses service-linked roles to provision resources and access other Amazon resources and services on your behalf. For MemoryDB to create a service-linked role for you, use the Amazon-managed policy named AmazonMemoryDBFullAccess. This role comes preprovisioned with permission that the service requires to create a service-linked role on your behalf.

You might decide not to use the default policy and instead to use a custom-managed policy. In this case, make sure that you have either permissions to call iam:createServiceLinkedRole or that you have created the MemoryDB service-linked role.

For more information, see the following:

Downloading and Configuring the Amazon CLI

The Amazon CLI is available at http://aws.amazon.com/cli. It runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. After you download the Amazon CLI, follow these steps to install and configure it:

Step 2: Create a cluster

Before creating a cluster for production use, you obviously need to consider how you will configure the cluster to meet your business needs. Those issues are addressed in the Preparing a cluster section. For the purposes of this Getting Started exercise, you can accept the default configuration values where they apply.

The cluster you create will be live, and not running in a sandbox. You will incur the standard MemoryDB usage fees for the instance until you delete it. The total charges will be minimal (typically less than a dollar) if you complete the exercise described here in one sitting and delete your cluster when you are finished. For more information about MemoryDB usage rates, see MemoryDB.

Your cluster is launched in a virtual private cloud (VPC) based on the Amazon VPC service.

Creating a MemoryDB cluster

The following examples show how to create a cluster using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, Amazon CLI and MemoryDB API.

To create a cluster using the MemoryDB console
  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the MemoryDB console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/memorydb/.

  2. Choose Clusters In the left navigation pane and then choose Create.

Easy create
  1. Complete the Configuration section. This configures the node type and default configuration of your cluster. Select the appropriate memory size and network performance you require from the following options:

    • Production

    • Dev/Test

    • Demo

  2. Complete the Cluster info section.

    1. In Name, enter a name for your cluster.

      Cluster naming constraints are as follows:

      • Must contain 1–40 alphanumeric characters or hyphens.

      • Must begin with a letter.

      • Can't contain two consecutive hyphens.

      • Can't end with a hyphen.

    2. In the Description box, enter a description for this cluster.

  3. Complete the Subnet groups section:

    1. For Subnet groups, create a new subnet group or choose an existing one from the available list that you want to apply to this cluster. If you are creating a new one:

      • Enter a Name

      • Enter a Description

      • If you enabled Multi-AZ, the subnet group must contain at least two subnets that reside in different availability zones. For more information, see Subnets and subnet groups.

      • If you are creating a new subnet group and do not have an existing VPC, you will be asked to create a VPC. For more information, see What is Amazon VPC? in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

  4. For Vector search, you can Enable Vector search capability to store vector embeddings and perform vector searches. Note that this will fix the values for engine version compatibility, Parameter groups and Shards. For more information, see Vector search.

  5. View default settings:

    When using Easy create, the remaining cluster settings are set by default. Note that some of these settings can be changed after creation, as indicated by Editable after creation.

  6. For Tags, you can optionally apply tags to search and filter your clusters or track your Amazon costs.

  7. Review all your entries and choices, then make any needed corrections. When you're ready, choose Create to launch your cluster, or Cancel to cancel the operation.

As soon as your cluster's status is available, you can grant EC2 access to it, connect to it, and begin using it. For more information, see Step 3: Authorize access to the cluster

Important

As soon as your cluster becomes available, you're billed for each hour or partial hour that the cluster is active, even if you're not actively using it. To stop incurring charges for this cluster, you must delete it. See Step 5: Deleting a cluster.

Create new cluster
  1. Complete the Cluster info section.

    1. In Name, enter a name for your cluster.

      Cluster naming constraints are as follows:

      • Must contain 1–40 alphanumeric characters or hyphens.

      • Must begin with a letter.

      • Can't contain two consecutive hyphens.

      • Can't end with a hyphen.

    2. In the Description box, enter a description for this cluster.

  2. Complete the Subnet groups section:

    1. For Subnet groups, create a new subnet group or choose an existing one from the available list that you want to apply to this cluster. If you are creating a new one:

      • Enter a Name

      • Enter a Description

      • If you enabled Multi-AZ, the subnet group must contain at least two subnets that reside in different availability zones. For more information, see Subnets and subnet groups.

      • If you are creating a new subnet group and do not have an existing VPC, you will be asked to create a VPC. For more information, see What is Amazon VPC? in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

  3. Complete the Cluster settings section:

    1. For Enable Vector search capability, you can enable this to store vector embeddings and perform vector searches. Note that this will fix the values for engine version compatibility, Parameter groups and Shards. For more information, see Vector search.

    2. For engine version compatibility, accept the default. For example, with Valkey the default is 7.2.6, and with Redis OSS the default is 6.2.

    3. For Port, accept the default port of 6379 or, if you have a reason to use a different port, enter the port number..

    4. For Parameter group, if you have enabled vector search, use default.memorydb-valkey7.search. Otherwise, for Valkey accept the default.memorydb-valkey7 parameter group.

      Parameter groups control the runtime parameters of your cluster. For more information on parameter groups, see Engine specific parameters.

    5. For Node type, choose a value for the node type (along with its associated memory size) that you want.

      If you choose a node type from the r6gd family, you will automatically enable data-tiering, which splits data storage between memory and SSD. For more information, see Data tiering.

    6. For Number of shards, choose the number of shards that you want for this cluster. For higher availability of your clusters, we recommend that you add at least 2 shards.

      You can change the number of shards in your cluster dynamically. For more information, see Scaling MemoryDB clusters.

    7. For Replicas per shard, choose the number of read replica nodes that you want in each shard.

      The following restrictions exist:

      • If you have Multi-AZ enabled, make sure that you have at least one replica per shard.

      • The number of replicas is the same for each shard when creating the cluster using the console.

    8. Choose Next

    9. Complete the Advanced settings section:

      1. For Security groups, choose the security groups that you want for this cluster. A security group acts as a firewall to control network access to your cluster. You can use the default security group for your VPC or create a new one.

        For more information on security groups, see Security groups for your VPC in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

      2. To encrypt your data, you have the following options:

        • Encryption at rest – Enables encryption of data stored on disk. For more information, see Encryption at Rest.

          Note

          You have the option to supply an encryption key other than default by choosing Customer Managed Amazon-owned KMS key and choosing the key.

        • Encryption in-transit – Enables encryption of data on the wire. If you select no encryption, then an open Access control list called “open access” will be created with a default user. For more information, see Authenticating users with Access Control Lists (ACLs).

      3. For Snapshot, optionally specify a snapshot retention period and a snapshot window. By default, Enable automatic snapshots is pre-selected.

      4. For Maintenance window optionally specify a maintenance window. The maintenance window is the time, generally an hour in length, each week when MemoryDB schedules system maintenance for your cluster. You can allow MemoryDB to choose the day and time for your maintenance window (No preference), or you can choose the day, time, and duration yourself (Specify maintenance window). If you choose Specify maintenance window from the lists, choose the Start day, Start time, and Duration (in hours) for your maintenance window. All times are UCT times.

        For more information, see Managing maintenance.

      5. For Notifications, choose an existing Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic, or choose Manual ARN input and enter the topic's Amazon Resource Name (ARN). Amazon SNS allows you to push notifications to Internet-connected smart devices. The default is to disable notifications. For more information, see http://www.amazonaws.cn/sns/.

      6. For Tags, you can optionally apply tags to search and filter your clusters or track your Amazon costs.

    10. Review all your entries and choices, then make any needed corrections. When you're ready, choose Create to launch your cluster, or Cancel to cancel the operation.

    As soon as your cluster's status is available, you can grant EC2 access to it, connect to it, and begin using it. For more information, see Step 3: Authorize access to the cluster

    Important

    As soon as your cluster becomes available, you're billed for each hour or partial hour that the cluster is active, even if you're not actively using it. To stop incurring charges for this cluster, you must delete it. See Step 5: Deleting a cluster.

Restore from snapshots

Under Snapshot source, choose the source snapshot from which to migrate data. For more information, see Snapshot and restore .

Note

If you want your new cluster to have vector search enabled, the source snapshot must also have vector search enabled.

The target cluster defaults to the settings of the source cluster. Optionally, you can change the following settings on the target cluster:

    10. Review all your entries and choices, then make any needed corrections. When you're ready, choose Create to launch your cluster, or Cancel to cancel the operation.

    As soon as your cluster's status is available, you can grant EC2 access to it, connect to it, and begin using it. For more information, see Step 3: Authorize access to the cluster

    Important

    As soon as your cluster becomes available, you're billed for each hour or partial hour that the cluster is active, even if you're not actively using it. To stop incurring charges for this cluster, you must delete it. See Step 5: Deleting a cluster.

To create a cluster using the Amazon CLI, see create-cluster. The following is an example:

For Linux, OS X, or Unix:

aws memorydb create-cluster \ --cluster-name my-cluster \ --node-type db.r6g.large \ --acl-name my-acl \ --engine valkey \ --subnet-group my-sg

For Windows:

aws memorydb create-cluster ^ --cluster-name my-cluster ^ --node-type db.r6g.large ^ --acl-name my-acl ^ --engine valkey --subnet-group my-sg

You should get the following JSON response:

{ "Cluster": { "Name": "my-cluster", "Status": "creating", "NumberOfShards": 1, "AvailabilityMode": "MultiAZ", "ClusterEndpoint": { "Port": 6379 }, "NodeType": "db.r6g.large", "EngineVersion": "7.2", "EnginePatchVersion": "7.2.6", "ParameterGroupName": "default.memorydb-valkey7", "Engine": "valkey" "ParameterGroupStatus": "in-sync", "SubnetGroupName": "my-sg", "TLSEnabled": true, "ARN": "arn:aws:memorydb:us-east-1:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:cluster/my-cluster", "SnapshotRetentionLimit": 0, "MaintenanceWindow": "wed:03:00-wed:04:00", "SnapshotWindow": "04:30-05:30", "ACLName": "my-acl", "DataTiering": "false", "AutoMinorVersionUpgrade": true } }

You can begin using the cluster once its status changes to available.

Important

As soon as your cluster becomes available, you're billed for each hour or partial hour that the cluster is active, even if you're not actively using it. To stop incurring charges for this cluster, you must delete it. See Step 5: Deleting a cluster.

To create a cluster using the MemoryDB API, use the CreateCluster action.

Important

As soon as your cluster becomes available, you're billed for each hour or partial hour that the cluster is active, even if you're not using it. To stop incurring charges for this cluster, you must delete it. See Step 5: Deleting a cluster.

Setting up authentication

For information about setting up authentication for your cluster, see Authenticating with IAM and Authenticating users with Access Control Lists (ACLs).

Step 3: Authorize access to the cluster

This section assumes that you are familiar with launching and connecting to Amazon EC2 instances. For more information, see the Amazon EC2 Getting Started Guide.

MemoryDB clusters are designed to be accessed from an Amazon EC2 instance. They can also be accessed by containerized or serverless applications running in Amazon Elastic Container Service or Amazon Lambda. The most common scenario is to access a MemoryDB cluster from an Amazon EC2 instance in the same Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), which will be the case for this exercise.

Before you can connect to a cluster from an EC2 instance, you must authorize the EC2 instance to access the cluster.

The most common use case is when an application deployed on an EC2 instance needs to connect to a cluster in the same VPC. The simplest way to manage access between EC2 instances and clusters in the same VPC is to do the following:

  1. Create a VPC security group for your cluster. This security group can be used to restrict access to the clusters. For example, you can create a custom rule for this security group that allows TCP access using the port you assigned to the cluster when you created it and an IP address you will use to access the cluster.

    The default port for MemoryDB clusters is 6379.

  2. Create a VPC security group for your EC2 instances (web and application servers). This security group can, if needed, allow access to the EC2 instance from the Internet via the VPC's routing table. For example, you can set rules on this security group to allow TCP access to the EC2 instance over port 22.

  3. Create custom rules in the security group for your cluster that allow connections from the security group you created for your EC2 instances. This would allow any member of the security group to access the clusters.

To create a rule in a VPC security group that allows connections from another security group
  1. Sign in to the Amazon Management Console and open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Security Groups.

  3. Select or create a security group that you will use for your clusters. Under Inbound Rules, select Edit Inbound Rules and then select Add Rule. This security group will allow access to members of another security group.

  4. From Type choose Custom TCP Rule.

    1. For Port Range, specify the port you used when you created your cluster.

      The default port for MemoryDB clusters is 6379.

    2. In the Source box, start typing the ID of the security group. From the list select the security group you will use for your Amazon EC2 instances.

  5. Choose Save when you finish.

Once you have enabled access, you are now ready to connect to the cluster, as discussed in the next section.

For information on accessing your MemoryDB cluster from a different Amazon VPC, a different Amazon Region, or even your corporate network, see the following:

Step 4: Connect to the cluster

Before you continue, complete Step 3: Authorize access to the cluster.

This section assumes that you've created an Amazon EC2 instance and can connect to it. For instructions on how to do this, see the Amazon EC2 Getting Started Guide.

An Amazon EC2 instance can connect to a cluster only if you have authorized it to do so.

Find your cluster endpoint

When your cluster is in the available state and you've authorized access to it, you can log in to an Amazon EC2 instance and connect to the cluster. To do so, you must first determine the endpoint.

To further explore how to find your endpoints, see the following:

Connect to a MemoryDB cluster (Linux)

Now that you have the endpoint you need, you can log in to an EC2 instance and connect to the cluster. In the following example, you use the cli utility to connect to a cluster using Ubuntu 22. The latest version of cli also supports SSL/TLS for connecting encryption/authentication enabled clusters.

Connecting to MemoryDB nodes using redis-cli

To access data from MemoryDB nodes, you use clients that work with Secure Socket Layer (SSL). You can also use redis-cli with TLS/SSL on Amazon Linux and Amazon Linux 2.

To use redis-cli to connect to a MemoryDB cluster on Amazon Linux 2 or Amazon Linux
  1. Download and compile the redis-cli utility. This utility is included in the Redis OSS software distribution.

  2. At the command prompt of your EC2 instance, type the appropriate commands for the version of Linux you are using.

    Amazon Linux 2023

    If using Amazon Linux 2023, enter this:

    sudo yum install redis6 -y

    Then type the following command, substituting the endpoint of your cluster and port for what is shown in this example.

    redis-cli -h Primary or Configuration Endpoint --tls -p 6379

    For more information on finding the endpoint, see Find your Node Endpoints.

    Amazon Linux 2

    If using Amazon Linux 2, enter this:

    sudo yum -y install openssl-devel gcc wget https://download.redis.io/releases/redis-7.2.5.tar.gz tar xvzf redis-7.2.5.tar.gz cd redis-7.2.5 make distclean make redis-cli BUILD_TLS=yes sudo install -m 755 src/redis-cli /usr/local/bin/

    Amazon Linux

    If using Amazon Linux, enter this:

    sudo yum install gcc jemalloc-devel openssl-devel tcl tcl-devel clang wget wget https://download.redis.io/releases/redis-7.2.5.tar.gz tar xvzf redis-7.2.5.tar.gz cd redis-7.2.5 make redis-cli CC=clang BUILD_TLS=yes sudo install -m 755 src/redis-cli /usr/local/bin/

    On Amazon Linux, you may also need to run the following additional steps:

    sudo yum install clang CC=clang make sudo make install
  3. After you have downloaded and installed the redis-cli utility, it is recommended that you run the optional make-test command.

  4. To connect to a cluster with encryption and authentication enabled, enter this command:

    redis-cli -h Primary or Configuration Endpoint --tls -a 'your-password' -p 6379
    Note

    If you install redis6 on Amazon Linux 2023, you can now use the command redis6-cli instead of redis-cli:

    redis6-cli -h Primary or Configuration Endpoint --tls -p 6379

Step 5: Deleting a cluster

As long as a cluster is in the available state, you are being charged for it, whether or not you are actively using it. To stop incurring charges, delete the cluster.

Warning
  • When you delete a MemoryDB cluster, your manual snapshots are retained. You can also create a final snapshot before the cluster is deleted. Automatic snapshots are not retained. For more information, see Snapshot and restore .

  • CreateSnapshot permission is required to create a final snapshot. Without this permission, the API call will fail with an Access Denied exception.

The following procedure deletes a single cluster from your deployment. To delete multiple clusters, repeat the procedure for each cluster that you want to delete. You do not need to wait for one cluster to finish deleting before starting the procedure to delete another cluster.

To delete a cluster
  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the MemoryDB console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/memorydb/.

  2. To choose the cluster to delete, choose the radio button next to the cluster's name from the list of clusters. In this case, the name of the cluster you created at Step 2: Create a cluster.

  3. For Actions, choose Delete.

  4. First choose whether to create a snapshot of the cluster before deleting it and then enter delete in the confirmation box and Delete to delete the cluster, or choose Cancel to keep the cluster.

    If you chose Delete, the status of the cluster changes to deleting.

As soon as your cluster is no longer listed in the list of clusters, you stop incurring charges for it.

The following code deletes the cluster my-cluster. In this case, substitute my-cluster with the name of the cluster you created at Step 2: Create a cluster.

aws memorydb delete-cluster --cluster-name my-cluster

The delete-cluster CLI operation only deletes one cluster. To delete multiple clusters, call delete-cluster for each cluster that you want to delete. You do not need to wait for one cluster to finish deleting before deleting another.

For Linux, OS X, or Unix:

aws memorydb delete-cluster \ --cluster-name my-cluster \ --region us-east-1

For Windows:

aws memorydb delete-cluster ^ --cluster-name my-cluster ^ --region us-east-1

For more information, see delete-cluster.

The following code deletes the cluster my-cluster. In this case, substitute my-cluster with the name of the cluster you created at Step 2: Create a cluster.

https://memory-db.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ ?Action=DeleteCluster &ClusterName=my-cluster &Region=us-east-1 &SignatureVersion=4 &SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256 &Timestamp=20210802T220302Z &X-Amz-Algorithm=Amazon4-HMAC-SHA256 &X-Amz-Date=20210802T220302Z &X-Amz-SignedHeaders=Host &X-Amz-Expires=20210802T220302Z &X-Amz-Credential=<credential> &X-Amz-Signature=<signature>

The DeleteCluster API operation only deletes one cluster. To delete multiple clusters, call DeleteCluster for each cluster that you want to delete. You do not need to wait for one cluster to finish deleting before deleting another.

For more information, see DeleteCluster.
