# ElastiCache Reserved Cache Node

An ElastiCache Reserved Cache Node is a billing option in Amazon ElastiCache that allows you to reserve a specific cache node type for a one- or three-year term. By committing to a reserved node, you receive significant cost savings compared to on-demand pricing. This option is ideal for predictable, steady-state workloads where cache usage is consistent over time.

| cache_node_type                  | core | string     | The cache node type for the reserved cache nodes. The following node types are supported by ElastiCache. Generally speaking, the current generation types provide more memory and computational power at lower cost when compared to their equivalent previous generation counterparts. General purpose: Current generation: M7g node types: cache.m7g.large, cache.m7g.xlarge, cache.m7g.2xlarge, cache.m7g.4xlarge, cache.m7g.8xlarge, cache.m7g.12xlarge, cache.m7g.16xlarge For region availability, see Supported Node Types M6g node types (available only for Redis OSS engine version 5.0.6 onward and for Memcached engine version 1.5.16 onward): cache.m6g.large, cache.m6g.xlarge, cache.m6g.2xlarge, cache.m6g.4xlarge, cache.m6g.8xlarge, cache.m6g.12xlarge, cache.m6g.16xlarge M5 node types: cache.m5.large, cache.m5.xlarge, cache.m5.2xlarge, cache.m5.4xlarge, cache.m5.12xlarge, cache.m5.24xlarge M4 node types: cache.m4.large, cache.m4.xlarge, cache.m4.2xlarge, cache.m4.4xlarge, cache.m4.10xlarge T4g node types (available only for Redis OSS engine version 5.0.6 onward and Memcached engine version 1.5.16 onward): cache.t4g.micro, cache.t4g.small, cache.t4g.medium T3 node types: cache.t3.micro, cache.t3.small, cache.t3.medium T2 node types: cache.t2.micro, cache.t2.small, cache.t2.medium Previous generation: (not recommended. Existing clusters are still supported but creation of new clusters is not supported for these types.) T1 node types: cache.t1.micro M1 node types: cache.m1.small, cache.m1.medium, cache.m1.large, cache.m1.xlarge M3 node types: cache.m3.medium, cache.m3.large, cache.m3.xlarge, cache.m3.2xlarge Compute optimized: Previous generation: (not recommended. Existing clusters are still supported but creation of new clusters is not supported for these types.) C1 node types: cache.c1.xlarge Memory optimized: Current generation: R7g node types: cache.r7g.large, cache.r7g.xlarge, cache.r7g.2xlarge, cache.r7g.4xlarge, cache.r7g.8xlarge, cache.r7g.12xlarge, cache.r7g.16xlarge For region availability, see Supported Node Types R6g node types (available only for Redis OSS engine version 5.0.6 onward and for Memcached engine version 1.5.16 onward): cache.r6g.large, cache.r6g.xlarge, cache.r6g.2xlarge, cache.r6g.4xlarge, cache.r6g.8xlarge, cache.r6g.12xlarge, cache.r6g.16xlarge R5 node types: cache.r5.large, cache.r5.xlarge, cache.r5.2xlarge, cache.r5.4xlarge, cache.r5.12xlarge, cache.r5.24xlarge R4 node types: cache.r4.large, cache.r4.xlarge, cache.r4.2xlarge, cache.r4.4xlarge, cache.r4.8xlarge, cache.r4.16xlarge Previous generation: (not recommended.

M2 node types: cache.m2.xlarge, cache.m2.2xlarge, cache.m2.4xlarge R3 node types: cache.r3.large, cache.r3.xlarge, cache.r3.2xlarge, cache.r3.4xlarge, cache.r3.8xlarge Additional node type info All current generation instance types are created in Amazon VPC by default.
