I have created a cluster on AWS Elasticache for Redis. The cluster operates in cluster mode enabled . There is 1 shard with 2 nodes currently created.

I'm trying to connect to the cluster through bastion host, thus using such port forwarding:

LocalForward localhost:6379 my-app.redis.apps.region.company.com:6379

I can reach the elasticache service with Spring Boot standalone configuration, but when fetching data from the cache, I get MOVED exception.
I have tried to switch the configuration to cluster mode using only cluster endpoint, but am getting:

Caused by: io.lettuce.core.RedisException: Cannot obtain initial Redis Cluster topology

Caused by: io.lettuce.core.cluster.topology.DefaultClusterTopologyRefresh$CannotRetrieveClusterPartitions: Cannot retrieve cluster partitions from [redis://clustercfg.redis-*******.****.****.cache.amazonaws.com]
Here's my configuration:
@Configuration
class RedisConfiguration {
    @Bean
    fun connectionFactory(): RedisConnectionFactory? {
        return LettuceConnectionFactory(
            RedisClusterConfiguration().clusterNode(
                "clustercfg.redis-*******.****.****.cache.amazonaws.com",
    @Bean
    fun redisTemplate(redisConnectionFactory: RedisConnectionFactory) =
        RedisTemplate<String, String>().apply {
            setConnectionFactory(redisConnectionFactory)
            StringRedisSerializer().let {
                keySerializer = it
                valueSerializer = it
    @Bean
    fun remoteConfigCacheManager(
        connectionFactory: RedisConnectionFactory
    ): RedisCacheManager? {
        return RedisCacheManager.builder(connectionFactory)
            .withCacheConfiguration(
               “CACHE_NAME”,
                RedisCacheConfiguration.defaultCacheConfig().entryTtl(Duration.ofHours(1))
            .build()
And there's the config in application.yml
redis:
  host: ${REDIS_HOST:clustercfg.redis-*******.****.****.cache.amazonaws.com}
  port: ${REDIS_PORT:6379}
  password: ${REDIS_PASSWORD:<SOME_SECRET_PASSWORD>}
  ssl: ${REDIS_SSL:true}
I've really browsed through every possible SO thread and could not find a solution. Can this be related to my bastion host?
                first, check whether you can access Redis server with a local redis client by using redis-cli -c and see if it redirects

                Using that command I get "logged" to 127.0.0.1:6379. Can use all the commands like KEYS '*', FLUSHALL etc.

                yeh i mean try adding keys like 'a','t','x' and then try to retrieve them. if you are getting moved again even with the -c option ,check the configurations of elasticache
