How to Connect from Your Local Environment On AWS Redis Elasticache
To connect to a Redis Elasticache instance on AWS using the Redis command-line client (redis-cli) from a Mac terminal, ensure you have the Redis client installed on your machine. Additionally, have the endpoint and credentials for your Elasticache instance ready. 1.Install Redis Client: Use Homebrew to install the Redis client on your Mac terminal:brew install redis 2.Find Endpoint and Port: Locate the endpoint and port number for your Elasticache instance. You can find this information on the AWS Management Console in the Elasticache dashboard. 3.Connect to Elasticache Instance: Use the redis-cli command to connect to the instance: redis-cli -h mycluster.abc123.us-west-2.elasticache.amazonaws.com -p port_number 4.Authentication: If your cluster requires authentication, you will be prompted to enter the password. https://erpsolutions.oodles.io/developer-blogs/How-to-Connect-from-Your-Local-Environment-On-AWS-Redis-Elasticache/

If using an authentication token, use the AUTH command followed by the token.
