Have a command to generate a Redis Auth token just like RDS

[romelBen]

Describe the feature

aws-cli does not support generating a Redis AUTH token like what RDS does with command aws generate-db-auth-token.

Use Case

Currently we have to create a token through code which is used for applications. This is understandable and is notated here in this AWS blog post; however, there is no documentation for developers to access the Redis clusters using aws-cli only RDS.

Proposed Solution

Add another command with name generate-redis-auth-token for aws-cli.

Thanks for the feature request. This would likely need to be implemented as a customization similar to the generate-db-auth-token RDS command that you referenced. And that would involve coordinating with the AWS Elasticache team. I'm going to transfer this to our cross-SDK repository since customization requests like this should be considered across SDKs for consistency. Please 👍 this issue if interested in the feature request.
