I'm currently using Redis 7.1, but I'm really eager to upgrade to 7.4 because it has some features my application requires. Does anyone have information on when it might be supported in ElasticCache?

As others have mentioned, due to the new licensing for Redis, it seems unlikely that 7.4 will ever be supported on ElasticCache. You might find it better to consider migrating to Valkey for any future updates or enhancements.
I doubt Redis 7.4 will ever be available on ElasticCache. The licensing changes mean AWS can't use it since it's not open source anymore. You might want to check out the details from Redis's blog about this.
So it's basically the same thing that HashiCorp did with Terraform -- they added a non-compete clause and made it non-open source. Odd how there's no outrage over Redis pulling the same stunt!
Looks like I need to find another way .... Thanks for your reply mate!
