**To create a cache cluster**

The following ``create-cache-cluster`` example creates a cache cluster using the Redis engine. ::

    aws elasticache create-cache-cluster \
        --cache-cluster-id "cluster-test" \
        --engine redis \
        --cache-node-type cache.m5.large \
        --num-cache-nodes 1


Output::
