Scaling up an ElastiCache Redis instance using CloudFormation

Question

I have a Redis (cluster-mode disabled) instance I created using a CloudFormation template which I would like to scale up to a newer/higher NodeType. From reading the ElastiCache docs it seems I can upgrade the NodeType using the console or CLI and it will handle everything for me.   
  
I was wondering if CloudFormation will use the same upgrade path or simply replace my instances with a new one (without transfering all data from the old to the new one).

Answer

So I didn't receive a reply and I tried the scale up. It worked as expected and all data was migrated from the old to the new node. So upgrading through CF will result in the same action(s) as using the Console/CLI.
