Cluster

Learn how to create, update, and manage AWS DAX Clusters using Alchemy Cloud Control.

The Cluster resource lets you manage AWS DAX Clusters for caching DynamoDB queries to improve performance and reduce response times.

Minimal Example

Create a basic DAX cluster with required properties and a couple of optional settings like description and parameter group name.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";

const daxCluster = await AWS.DAX.Cluster("myDaxCluster", {
  ReplicationFactor: 3,
  IAMRoleARN: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/DAXRole",
  Description: "My DAX Cluster for caching DynamoDB queries",
  ParameterGroupName: "default.dax1.0"
});

Advanced Configuration

Configure a DAX cluster with advanced options including availability zones, security groups, and a maintenance window.

const advancedDaxCluster = await AWS.DAX.Cluster("advancedDaxCluster", {
  ReplicationFactor: 3,
  IAMRoleARN: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/DAXRole",
  AvailabilityZones: ["us-west-2a", "us-west-2b"],
  SecurityGroupIds: ["sg-0abcd1234efgh5678"],
  PreferredMaintenanceWindow: "sun:05:00-sun:06:00",
  ClusterName: "AdvancedDAXCluster"
});

Enhanced Security Settings

Configure a DAX cluster with server-side encryption enabled for enhanced security.

const secureDaxCluster = await AWS.DAX.Cluster("secureDaxCluster", {
  ReplicationFactor: 3,
  IAMRoleARN: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/DAXRole",
  SSESpecification: {
    SSEEnabled: true
  },
  Description: "Secure DAX Cluster with encryption"
});

Specific Use Case: Custom Tags

Create a DAX cluster with custom tags for better resource management.

const taggedDaxCluster = await AWS.DAX.Cluster("taggedDaxCluster", {
  ReplicationFactor: 3,
  IAMRoleARN: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/DAXRole",
  Tags: [
    {
      Key: "Environment",
      Value: "Production"
    },
    {
      Key: "Project",
      Value: "E-commerce"
    }
  ]
});
