These answers are out of date.

You can access elastic-cache outside of AWS by following these steps:

1. Create a NAT instance in the same VPC as your cache cluster but in a public subnet.
2. Create security group rules for the cache cluster and NAT instance.
3. Validate the rules.
4. Add an iptables rule to the NAT instance.
5. Confirm that the trusted client is able to connect to the cluster.
6. Save the iptables configuration.
