Enable API Cache
More Info:
Ensure that response caching is enabled for your Amazon API Gateway REST APIs in order to enhance API responsiveness and decrease latency.

Triage and Remediation
Remediation
To remediate the misconfiguration of enabling API Cache in AWS, you can follow the below steps:
- Login to your AWS Management Console.
- Navigate to the API Gateway service.
- Select the API that you want to enable caching for.
- Click on the “Stages” option in the left-hand menu.
- Select the stage for which you want to enable caching.
- Click on the “Settings” tab.
- Scroll down to the “Cache Settings” section.
- Click on the “Enable API Cache” checkbox.
- Set the “Cache Capacity” and “TTL” values as per your requirement.
- Click on the “Save Changes” button.
Once you have completed these steps, caching will be enabled for your API in AWS. You can test it by making some API requests and checking if the response time has improved.
To remediate the misconfiguration of enabling API Cache in AWS using AWS CLI, follow these steps:
- Open the AWS CLI on your local machine.
- Run the following command to create a new API cache:
aws apigateway create-cache-cluster --cache-cluster-name <cache-cluster-name> --cache-node-type <cache-node-type> --region <region>
Replace <cache-cluster-name>
with the name you want to give to your new cache cluster, <cache-node-type>
with the type of cache node you want to use, and <region>
with the region where you want to create the cache.
- Run the following command to deploy the API with the cache enabled:
aws apigateway update-rest-api --rest-api-id <rest-api-id> --patch-operations op=replace,path=/endpointConfiguration/types/EDGE,value=REGIONAL op=add,path=/endpointConfiguration/types/EDGE/cacheClusterEnabled,value=true --region <region>
Replace <rest-api-id>
with the ID of the REST API you want to deploy and <region>
with the region where the REST API is located.
- Verify that the API cache is enabled by running the following command:
aws apigateway get-rest-api --rest-api-id <rest-api-id> --region <region> | grep cacheClusterEnabled
This command should return a value of true
for the cacheClusterEnabled
parameter.
By following these steps, you should be able to remediate the misconfiguration of enabling API Cache in AWS using AWS CLI.
To remediate the misconfiguration of not having API cache enabled in AWS, you can use the following steps in Python:
- Import the required AWS SDK modules:
import boto3
- Create a boto3 client for Amazon API Gateway:
client = boto3.client('apigateway')
- Get the list of APIs in your AWS account:
api_list = client.get_rest_apis()['items']
- For each API in the list, check if API cache is enabled:
for api in api_list:
response = client.get_stage(restApiId=api['id'], stageName='prod')
if 'cacheClusterEnabled' not in response:
response = client.update_stage(restApiId=api['id'], stageName='prod', patchOperations=[{
'op': 'replace',
'path': '/cacheClusterEnabled',
'value': 'True'
}])
- If API cache is not enabled, update the API stage to enable it:
response = client.update_stage(restApiId=api['id'], stageName='prod', patchOperations=[{
'op': 'replace',
'path': '/cacheClusterEnabled',
'value': 'True'
}])
- Verify that API cache is enabled by checking the response:
if 'cacheClusterEnabled' in response and response['cacheClusterEnabled'] == 'True':
print('API cache enabled successfully')
else:
print('Error enabling API cache')
These steps will enable API cache in all the APIs in your AWS account.
