Description

### Name of the resource

AWS::ElastiCache::CacheCluster

### Resource name

_No response_

### Description

From the [Elasticache Documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/red-ug/ElastiCache-Outposts.html) for launching on outpost, it can be seen that steps/guidance is provided for both console and AWS CLI, but nothing for CFN :-

Via Console - The VPC ID should match that of outpost VPC
Via AWS CLI - Parameter --outpost-mode needs to be mentioned along with value as single-outpost

However `AWS::ElastiCache::CacheCluster` does not support property to launch using Outpost.

Research direction

Start with the linked ElastiCache Outposts documentation and the AWS::ElastiCache::CacheCluster CloudFormation reference, then compare the documented AWS CLI --outpost-mode behavior with the resource properties. Done means CloudFormation can configure CacheCluster deployment on an Outpost and the supported property and usage are documented.
