Is there a way to change AWS ElastiCache Redis Version to 6.2?

Question

My ElastiCache Redis version is on 6.0.5. But I want to use 6.2. According to AWS you can't specify the exact v6.x version.

I want to know if it's possible to upgrade it manually or something.

Answer 1

I’ve looked into this and was unable to find a way to use ElastiCache with Redis 6.2. Instead, I have deployed Redis in docker with ECS and Fargate in a Redis 6.2 dockerfile. Not as turnkey as ElastiCache though, I’m afraid.
