AWS: ElastiCache - Four New Types of Caching Nodes
Hello! 
Most likely everyone heard about Memcached - open source distributed system of caching objects in RAM. But in order to use it, you need to have your own server on which you need to install Memcached, set up and then maintain it in working condition.
Amazon provides a complete cloud service, ElastiCache, which makes it quick and easy to start using a caching system in the cloud, similar to Memcached, without the need for manual installation, configuration and monitoring.

Today it became known that 4 new types of ElastiCache instances appeared.
List of new instance types:
If you use the youngest instance, cache.t1.micro, then $ 16 comes out in a month. Read more about pricing here: ElastiCache pricing .
Like all other cloud services, ElastiCache provides the Pay-as-You-Go opalty model, i.e. you only need to pay for the resources you used.
The most delicious is out-of-box scalability. Increase or decrease the performance of the service can be a few clicks.
