Replicas and failover

Add replicas for read scaling and promote a replica to primary when you need a planned role change.

To add a replica

  1. Confirm cache Status is Ready.
  2. Choose Add replica.
  3. Wait until the new member row shows Ready.

To promote a replica

  1. Confirm the primary and replica are Ready.
  2. On the replica row, choose Promote to primary.
  3. Wait until roles swap and both members are Ready.

To delete a replica

  1. On the replica row, choose Delete replica.
  2. Confirm and wait until the member is removed.
Note DNS endpoints stay the same after promote; routing updates behind the read/write and read-only domains.
