ElastiCache to Azure Managed Redis (AMR)

For developersElastiCache to Azure Managed Redis (AMR)

Before migrating to Azure Managed Redis, you should evaluate the migration and consider the best option. Read this guide to determine which migration strategy is right for you. Note: Reach out to our team for support on live migrations.

#Offline data migration

#Create an S3 bucket with proper permissions

Open Amazon S3 and create a new bucket. The ElastiCache backup and the Amazon S3 bucket that you create must be in the same AWS Region.

Navigate to your new S3 bucket and go to the Permissions tab

Under Access Control List (ACL), choose Edit. Select Add grantee,

Elasticache canonical ID (paste this in under Grantee): 540804c33a284a299d2547575ce1010f2312ef3da9b3a053c8bc45bf233e4353
Select Objects > List & Write
Select Bucket ACL > Read & Write

Under the Permissions tab still, add the following JSON to the Bucket Policy section. Replace UNIQUE-BUCKET-NAME with the name of your S3 bucket:

#Create a Backup from ElastiCache

Navigate back to your ElastiCache instance
Select the Actions button, and create a Backup

#Export from ElastiCache Backups to S3 Bucket

Navigate to the Backup page within ElastiCache and select the Backup you created.
Within the Backup, select Export

Select the Target S3 location as the S3 bucket we created in step 1.

Return to the S3 bucket, and download the .rdb file that was created.

#Import RDB file to Azure Blob

In the Microsoft Azure console, navigate to Storage Accounts
Create an Azure Blob instance

Upload your .rdb file into the Blob container

#Create your Azure Managed Redis instance

Navigate to Azure Managed Redis
Select a size that fits your data set size captured in the initial steps on Memorystore. The rough estimate for sizing is your [current data set size * 1.2] = AMR data size (round up to the nearest size)

Select the data modules that you used within your Memorystore instance (RediSearch, RediJSON, RedisTimeSeries, RedisBloom)

Create your instance

#Import RDB file into Azure Managed Redis instance#

Navigate to your instance once it’s been created
Go to Administration > Import Data

NOTE: Importing will delete existing cache data

Choose your storage account which has the .rdb blob
Select the .rdb file you wish to import

Import your data.
