Connecting to AWS MemoryDB

Question

I started looking into AWS MemoryDB after spending sometime setting up a cluster. I was able to connect using redis-cli but couldn't connect using redis-py-cluster even though I used the same credentials. Below is my redis-cli command and python script using redis-py-cluster.

Redis CLI

redis-cli -h HOST --tls -p 6379 -a PWD --user username

Python code


from rediscluster import RedisCluster
startup_nodes = [{"host": "HOST", "port": "6379"}]
rd = RedisCluster(startup_nodes=startup_nodes, username="USER", password="PWD", decode_responses=True, skip_full_coverage_check=True)

Any help would be really appreciated.

I get a timeout message that the node is not reachable. But when I use redis-cli, I am able to connect. — Ebuka, Jan 07 '22 at 01:18
Are you running the redis cli and python code from the same machine? — Chetan, Jan 07 '22 at 01:25
Dumb question. `"HOST"` is not the actual value you are using in python code — Chetan, Jan 07 '22 at 01:31
Lol, no it's not. Actually the python code doesn't timeout now. it just gets stuck without any response until I use ctrl+c to kill it — Ebuka, Jan 07 '22 at 01:44

The problem was with the initialization of RedisCluster. Below is the correct parameters especially the ssl=True

rd = RedisCluster(startup_nodes=startup_nodes, username="demo-user", password="<PW>", decode_responses=True,ssl=True,skip_full_coverage_check=True)
