To start a migration

The following start-migration migrates your data from self-hosted Redis on Amazon EC2 to Amazon ElastiCache, using the Redis engine.

aws elasticache start-migration \
   --replication-group-id test \
   --customer-node-endpoint-list "Address='test.g2xbih.ng.0001.usw2.cache.amazonaws.com',Port=6379"

Output
