| aws_access_key
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used.
        
       
        If profile is set this parameter is ignored.
        
       
        Passing the aws_access_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.

        path
         | 
      
        
        The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates.
        
       
        Only used for boto3 based modules.
        
       
        Note: The CA Bundle is read 'module' side and may need to be explicitly copied from the controller if not run locally.
         | 
     |
| aws_config
        
        dictionary
         | 
      
        
        A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration.
        
       
        Parameters can be found at https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config.
        
       
        Only the 'user_agent' key is used for boto modules. See http://boto.cloudhackers.com/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html#boto for more boto configuration.
         | 
     |
| aws_secret_key
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used.
        
       
        If profile is set this parameter is ignored.
        
       
        Passing the aws_secret_key and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.
        
       aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key  | 
     |
| debug_botocore_endpoint_logs
        
        boolean
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.
         | 
     
| ec2_url
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
        
       aliases: aws_endpoint_url, endpoint_url  | 
     |
| name
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        The name of an ElastiCache cluster.
         | 
     |
| profile
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
        
       
        Using profile will override aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token and support for passing them at the same time as profile has been deprecated.
        
       
        aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token will be made mutually exclusive with profile after 2022-06-01.
        
       aliases: aws_profile  | 
     |
| region
        
        string
         |

       aliases: aws_region, ec2_region  | 
     |

        string
         |

        If profile is set this parameter is ignored.
        
       
        Passing the security_token and profile options at the same time has been deprecated and the options will be made mutually exclusive after 2022-06-01.
        
       aliases: aws_security_token, access_token  | 
     |
| validate_certs
        
        boolean
         | 
      
       
  |

Notes
Note
- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence 
AWS_URLorEC2_URL,AWS_PROFILEorAWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDorAWS_ACCESS_KEYorEC2_ACCESS_KEY,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEYorAWS_SECRET_KEYorEC2_SECRET_KEY,AWS_SECURITY_TOKENorEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN,AWS_REGIONorEC2_REGION,AWS_CA_BUNDLE - Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
 AWS_REGIONorEC2_REGIONcan be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
Examples
- name: obtain all ElastiCache information
  community.aws.elasticache_info:
- name: obtain all information for a single ElastiCache cluster
  community.aws.elasticache_info:
    name: test_elasticache
