I use the module, https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-elasticache-redis to provision elasticache redis. Below are the errors when I run terraform apply. I have no clue of these errors.

Terraform version: v0.13.5

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    I found the problem. The default values of namespace/environment/stage/name in context.tf are null. That causes the problem. Set these values solved the problem.


  2. You need to provide module input which can be found on the link you provided.

    For instance :

    Error: Error creating CacheSubnetGroup: InvalidParameterValue: The parameter CacheSubnetGroupName must be provided and must not be blank. status code: 400, request id: a1ab57b1-fa23-491c-aa7b-a2d3804014c9

    In this case, you need to set elasticache_subnet_group_name, and so on:

  3. Open up the context.tf and set variable "enabled" to true if you want the module to create resources for you, including the subnet group.

    Otherwise, you have to create all per-requsite resources yourselves, which includes elasticache_subnet_group_name.
