I watched this video again. I have one question that is not clear for me. In the code that accesses REDIS, I do not exactly understand how the redis server is protected against illegal access? I mean there is no authentication happening in the code. Rather, the code only has the link to the end point of the redis. Also, how can I access the redis server from within a lambda function if the lambda function is not in their VPC? ( I noticed that when creating Lambda functions, the only VPC that I can access is the default one. And other VPCs are not shown in the list from which we choose VPC ) Thanks a lot.

The only way to access to that Redis is with EC2? I dont undertand that

[@HemitPatel-s3f]

this is because elasticache is in a vpc (virtual private cloud) meaning it is isolated from other cloud environments. this means that you have to use an ec2 or another server from aws and ensure that the vpc id is the same from the elasticache to use it... or else it will simply not be found! this is done for secuirty purposes so that other servers which are not rented by you cannot access that cache. hope this helped!
