aws elasticache redis set and get

Question

I am new to AWS-SDK and I am running an node.js application on an EC2 instance.

I am trying to use ElastiCache-Redis in the node.js application. However, I can not find the API of ElastiCache to make basic Redis calls. The url below did not provide anything of Redis commands.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/ElastiCache.html#addTagsToResource-property

What should I do to issue Redis command to ElastiCache(Redis) in aws-sdk?

In order to send commands to Redis or Memcached you need to use normal clients, here is the list of Node.js clients for Redis: http://redis.io/clients#nodejs
