Has Valkey been enabled as an allowed engine for ElastiCache in CDK?

[jaydm26]

CDK Docs (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/python/aws_cdk.aws_elasticache/CfnCacheCluster.html) don't show Valkey as an option for ElastiCache engine. However, CFN Docs suggest that valkey is an allowed value (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-elasticache-cachecluster.html#cfn-elasticache-cachecluster-engine).

Thus, I am wondering if we can now create ElastiCache Cluster with a valkey engine with CDK or not.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @jaydm26 , you can create ElasticCache cluster with valkey engine using L1 construct - CfnCacheCluster as there are no official L2 construct from CDK providing this support.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/python/aws_cdk.aws_elasticache/CfnCacheCluster.html currently list valkey

engine (str) – The name of the cache engine to be used for this cluster. Valid values for this parameter are: memcached | valkey | redis

Tried that value in a CDK diff
