Amazon ElastiCache Serverless for Valkey now supports public endpoints

<p>Amazon ElastiCache Serverless for Valkey now supports public endpoints, letting you connect to your cache directly from a laptop, a serverless function, or any application running outside AWS, without setting up a VPN, a bastion host, or an SSH tunnel.</p> <p>With a public endpoint, ElastiCache Serverless gives you a fully managed cache reachable over the internet, with no VPC to configure and no infrastructure to provision, and you can create one in under a minute. Use it to rapidly prototype, connect AI coding tools and agents straight to your cache, or add caching to workloads that can't reach a VPC. Every connection uses IAM authentication over TLS 1.3, so there's no password to store or rotate.&nbsp;Connect using Valkey GLIDE 2.2 or later, which has built-in IAM support, or another Valkey client paired with the Developer Toolkit for ElastiCache, an open-source library that generates and refreshes IAM authentication tokens for you.</p> <p>Public endpoints for ElastiCache Serverless are available in all commercial AWS Regions and the China Regions. There is no additional charge for using public endpoints beyond standard ElastiCache Serverless pricing.&nbsp;To get started, create a Valkey 9.0 or later serverless cache with a public endpoint using the <a href="https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticache/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AWS Management Console</a>, AWS SDK, or AWS CLI.
