 # mu-elasticache
+
+Mu-elasticache is an extension [for the devops tool mu](https://github.com/stelligent/mu) 
+
+This extension automatically creates an elasticache redis cluster in all of
+your specified environments
+
+## Using this Extension
+
+copy these files into your project repo, I like to place these extensions under
+the folder "mu", so you would create a new directory called mu/elasticache
+to hold these files
+
+then place the following at the bottom of your mu.yml file
+```
+extensions:
+    - url: mu/elasticache
+```
+
+This is all you need to do to get started.
+
+The following environmental variables can be passed to your application 
+via mu.yml
+
+```
+environment:
+  REDIS_HOST: ${ElasticacheCluster.PrimaryEndPoint.Address}
+  REDIS_PORT: ${ElasticacheCluster.PrimaryEndPoint.Port}
+```
+
+The following parameters are configurable
+NumCacheNodes (default is 2 for Multi AZ failover)
+CacheNodeType (default is cache.t2.micro)
+AutomaticFailoverEnabled (default is true)
