How to read/write key-value pairs in Elasticache using Boto3?

Question

I need my python code to read/write key-value pair to AWS Elasticache Redis, for which I plan to use the Boto3 SDK. However, in the docs, I do not see a put/get API for elasticache client.

Reference: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/elasticache.html

Is it possible to do this with Boto3? If yes, looks like it does not have a straight forward API.

Answer 1

The boto3 library is used for programmatically managing AWS infrastructure resources, e.g. creating an ElastiCache cluster, tagging an existing cluster, modifying security groups etc.

It is not a general-purpose Redis SDK. You can use a Python package such as redis for that.
