Overview

You must create an Amazon ElastiCache account to connect to the data sources you want to use in your Pipelines. You can configure your Amazon ElastiCache account in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager.

In Designer, when working on Pipelines, every Snap needing an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing one. The accounts can be either created in or used from:

• Your private project folder: This folder contains the Pipelines that will use the account.

• Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to Project Space.

• The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users in an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

Snaps in the Amazon ElastiCache Snap Pack work with different accounts per the following table:
