AWS Redis Unable to store cached value: Error creating remote cache connection. Exception caught!

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

We’ve switched from connecting to each node in a Redis cluster to connecting to a Redis cluster on AWS, but the connection doesn’t seem to be working.

Environment

API Gateway 11.1.3

Resolution

For Gateway 11.1.3, the dynamic cluster Redis configuration on AWS doesn't work with the Remote Cache Assertion. For this to work, you need to upgrade to 11.2 so that you can use the built-in key value assertion. You can have a standalone Redis AWS configured and have the connection established from the API Gateway using the latest version of the Remote Cache Assertion.
