Intermittent Redis DNS Issue on AWS

8/29/2019

I'm currently supporting an application Java w/ Springboot application in Kubernetes on AWS. I'm using Elasticache's Redis resource, but I'm occasionally receiving errors that it cannot resolve the host:

Original hostname: '*.ng.0001.use1.cache.amazonaws.com' failed to resolve '.ng.0001.use1.cache.amazonaws.com' after 2 queries

According to this page here, it appears that I'm being rate limited? https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=834816

I'm unsure how to tell if this is the case. I'm using Alpine JDK Docker image so I'd be unable to install ncsd as the forum suggests.
