ElastiCache for Redis: set key value hanging indefinitely in redis-cli

I'm trying to save a key value pair in Amazon ElastiCache for Redis but the set command is getting stuck.

I first do:

redis-cli -h ${aws-elasticache-cluster-url} -p 6739

And then:

aws-elasticache-cluster-url:6739> set mykey "myvalue"

The command gets stuck here & doesn't indicate success nor failure.

If it works correctly, the command should print "OK".

What's wrong?

The steps I tried are from this document https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/red-ug/GettingStarted.ConnectToCacheNode.html

Solution

  • I've figured out my elasticache cluster is setup with TLS mode. That's why it's unable to run get/set in redis. Enabling ssl to the command and code will help to run with get/set. Hope this help to anyone having the same issue.
