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
- Confirm cache Status is Ready.
- Choose Add replica.
- Wait until the new member row shows Ready.
To promote a replica
- Confirm the primary and replica are Ready.
- On the replica row, choose Promote to primary.
- Wait until roles swap and both members are Ready.
To delete a replica
- On the replica row, choose Delete replica.
- 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.
