Connecting to ElastiCache with Laravel when using Encryption In-Transit

Posted on under Laravel by Owen Conti.

If you're using ElastiCache with the Encryption In-Transit setting turned on, you'll need to tweak your REDIS_HOST environment variable when connecting with Laravel:

1// Before
2REDIS_HOST=some-master-node.cache.amazonaws.com
3 
4// After
5REDIS_HOST=tls://some-master-node.cache.amazonaws.com

That will tell your Redis client to use TLS when connecting to your ElastiCache instance.
