Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX)

2017/06/21 - Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) - 21 new api methods

Changes  Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is a fully managed, highly available, in-memory cache for DynamoDB that delivers up to a 10x performance improvement - from milliseconds to microseconds - even at millions of requests per second. DAX does all the heavy lifting required to add in-memory acceleration to your DynamoDB tables, without requiring developers to manage cache invalidation, data population, or cluster management.

DescribeParameterGroups (new) Link ¶

Returns a list of parameter group descriptions. If a parameter group name is specified, the list will contain only the descriptions for that group.

DescribeClusters (new) Link ¶

Returns information about all provisioned DAX clusters if no cluster identifier is specified, or about a specific DAX cluster if a cluster identifier is supplied.

If the cluster is in the CREATING state, only cluster level information will be displayed until all of the nodes are successfully provisioned.

If the cluster is in the DELETING state, only cluster level information will be displayed.

If nodes are currently being added to the DAX cluster, node endpoint information and creation time for the additional nodes will not be displayed until they are completely provisioned. When the DAX cluster state is available , the cluster is ready for use.

If nodes are currently being removed from the DAX cluster, no endpoint information for the removed nodes is displayed.

Note

If you don't specify a preferred maintenance window when you create or modify a cache cluster, DAX assigns a 60-minute maintenance window on a randomly selected day of the week.

type NotificationTopicArn

string

param NotificationTopicArn

Note

The Amazon SNS topic owner must be same as the DAX cluster owner.

type IamRoleArn

string

param IamRoleArn

[REQUIRED]

A valid Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies an IAM role. At runtime, DAX will assume this role and use the role's permissions to access DynamoDB on your behalf.

type ParameterGroupName

string

param ParameterGroupName

The parameter group to be associated with the DAX cluster.

type Tags

list

param Tags

A set of tags to associate with the DAX cluster.

  • (dict) --

    A description of a tag. Every tag is a key-value pair. You can add up to 50 tags to a single DAX cluster.

    AWS-assigned tag names and values are automatically assigned the aws: prefix, which the user cannot assign. AWS-assigned tag names do not count towards the tag limit of 50. User-assigned tag names have the prefix user: .

    You cannot backdate the application of a tag.

    • Key (string) --

      The key for the tag. Tag keys are case sensitive. Every DAX cluster can only have one tag with the same key. If you try to add an existing tag (same key), the existing tag value will be updated to the new value.

    • Value (string) --

      The value of the tag. Tag values are case-sensitive and can be null.
