Amazon ElastiCache Global Datastore now supports tagging and tag-based access control
Amazon ElastiCache now supports resource tagging and tag-based access control (TBAC) for Global Datastore. Previously, ElastiCache supported tagging on all resources except Global Datastore, which prevented customers from applying a single, consistent permission and cost-allocation model across their ElastiCache fleet. With this launch, you can use AddTagsToResource, RemoveTagsFromResource, and ListTagsForResource on a Global Datastore, and reference those tags as conditions in IAM policies and Service Control Policies (SCPs) to grant permissions based on tag attributes rather than enumerating individual resources. Tag changes on a Global Datastore propagate automatically to every Region it spans, so access-control and cost-allocation policies stay consistent without per-Region operations. There is no additional cost for this feature, and no change to how you create or manage Global Datastores. This feature is available in all AWS Regions where ElastiCache Global Datastore is available. To learn more, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/dg/Tagging-Resources.html and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/dg/IAM.ConditionKeys.html.

in what felt like a miracle, the terraform worked first time, everything ran as expected in production

except for one tiny detail. somehow i picked the one redis function not supported by elasticache

good news, i already have working code to use instead. serves me right for tidying things up

im always deeply suspicious now when projects are "discontinued for financial reasons" because this isn't the first time i've looked inside and seen a $1-per-user AWS spend

I’m seeing a super weird @awscloud bug: “Amazon Elasticache for Valkey” is showing up in the console under some weird proprietary database company’s name instead; can somebody please take a look?

Amazon ElastiCache Global Datastore now supports tagging and tag-based access control

Only took AWS how many years to let you tag Global Datastores? Congrats on finally achieving feature parity with... checks notes... literally every other ElastiCache resource. Revolutionary stuff, folks.

I was going to make a hilariously overcomplicated, wildly expensive WordPress architecture diagram, but AWS has already beaten me to it.

Amazon ElastiCache now supports Valkey 8.0, aws.amazon.com/blogs/databa.... This is the first release with software that was developed by the new Valkey project, which includes a wide variety of improvements, from performance to memory efficiency. I have two specific anecdotes to share about it. 🧵

I expected AWS to add Valkey to ElastiCache. I did not expect them to lower the price compared to Redis OSS 😮

33% cheaper for Serverless, 20% cheaper for instance based, AND a 90% lower minimum sizing, at 100MB.

This is a big win for caching in AWS.
