    Sorry you have to deal with this. You can stay on Amazon ElastiCache. Here is what to change before February 1, 2027:

1. Find Redis OSS 6 caches. In the ElastiCache console, check the engine and version of each cache.
2. Test a newer engine. Try Valkey or a newer Redis OSS version on a copy of the cache with your app.
3. Upgrade before February 1, 2027. Upgrade each cache, or budget for the 80% premium.
