How to install redis modules to AWS elasticache?

Basically, we know ElastiCache in AWS is using either MemCached or Redis. We picked up Redis, and found a module potentially useful for us. Is there a way we can install the module to our ElastiCache instance?

Since elasticache is a managed service, you can't access the actual redis server to install/load modules. You can only connect to it through clients to run redis commands. The AWS Elasticache documentation does not mention any support for modules. So, it looks like it isn't possible. You'll have to use EC2 instance to run your own redis server to use modules till Amazon adds support for modules in elasticache.
