ElastiCache Redis & EC2 Configuration with Python | Data Storage & Retrieval

Discover the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) in this comprehensive tutorial where we walk you through the process of creating an Amazon ElastiCache Redis Cluster, configuring an EC2 instance with a Python script, and using that script to store and retrieve a value.
In this video tutorial, we'll go over the following steps in detail:
Amazon ElastiCache Redis Cluster Creation: Understand the process of setting up your very own ElastiCache Redis Cluster on Amazon Web Services. We'll guide you through each step, ensuring you grasp the ins and outs of this powerful in-memory data store.
EC2 Instance Configuration: Discover how to launch and configure an EC2 instance to fit your requirements. We'll also delve into how you can install Python and any necessary dependencies to prepare for running our script.
Script Execution: Learn how to interact with your ElastiCache cluster using a Python script on your EC2 instance. We'll run the script to store a value and subsequently retrieve it, showcasing the simplicity and effectiveness of this approach.

The only way to access to that Redis is with EC2? I dont undertand that

[@kouroshbaghaei382]

I watched this video again. I have one question that is not clear for me. In the code that accesses REDIS, I do not exactly understand how the redis server is protected against illegal access? I mean there is no authentication happening in the code. Rather, the code only has the link to the end point of the redis. Also, how can I access the redis server from within a lambda function if the lambda function is not in their VPC? ( I noticed that when creating Lambda functions, the only VPC that I can access is the default one. And other VPCs are not shown in the list from which we choose VPC ) Thanks a lot.
