+"""
+When elasticache valkey is deployed without encryption in transit, IAM auth cannot be used.
+To enable TLS after deployment, it takes 20min to set it to prefer TLS, and another 5 min to set it to require
+When TLS is enabled, configuration endpoint address is changed
+IAM auth is available only after TLS is required. One needs to manually associate the cluster with the elasticache usergroup
+
+Other considerations
+* Elasticache userid must be the same as username
+* The signed request must have validity of 15min
