SDK and Synchronizer: How to Connect to AWS Redis Cluster

Question

When using AWS Redis Cluster, AWS provides one entry point to connect to the cluster. Do we still need to use "cluster" mode in the Synchronizer or SDK to connect to the Redis cluster?

Answer

AWS Redis cluster masks the cluster nodes behind a main entry point, which acts like a load balancer. To connect to the cluster from the Synchronizer or SDK, use the single Redis host configuration, not the cluster mode.

For example, in Synchronizer configuration file, turn the cluster mode off:

"clusterMode": false
