id: cache-redis-multiaz-disabled

info:
  name: ElastiCache Redis Multi-AZ - Disabled
  author: DhiyaneshDK
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Ensure that your Amazon ElastiCache Redis cache clusters are using a Multi-AZ deployment configuration to enhance reliability through automatic failover.
  impact: |
    Disabling ElastiCache Redis Multi-AZ can lead to data loss and increased downtime in the event of a primary node failure, as failover to a secondary node in a different availability zone will not occur automatically.
  remediation: |
    Enable Multi-AZ replication in the ElastiCache Redis settings or create a new cluster with Multi-AZ enabled to ensure high availability.
