Control: 2 Minor version upgrades should be automatically applied to ElastiCache for Redis cache clusters
Description
This control evaluates whether ElastiCache for Redis automatically applies minor version upgrades to cache clusters. This control fails if ElastiCache for Redis cache clusters do not have minor version upgrades automatically applied.
AutoMinorVersionUpgrade is a feature that you can turn on in ElastiCache for Redis to have your cache clusters automatically upgraded when a new minor cache engine version is available. These upgrades might include security patches and bug fixes. Staying up-to-date with patch installation is an important step in securing systems.
Remediation
For instructions on turning on automatic minor version upgrades for an existing ElastiCache for Redis cache cluster, see Upgrading engine versions in the Amazon ElastiCache User Guide.
