Cache Invalidation

Hello,

I am working on an entirely static (it is never updated, but Dynamic in the sense it is WordPress) site which was developed by a consulting team which is no longer working with us. We are not using the FSD Cache because of our complex Cloudfront behaviors on this domain. Our page/object/db caches are configured to use Redis which is provisioned via ElasticCache. My questions are as follows:

1. How do I configure the plugin to never expire the redis cache?
2. We load/deploy a wp-json file with all configs (an export from the plugin) and some how every few days the configurations get reverted. We checked to make sure no build has run and the containers are not restarted at all. We checked the cron plugin and nothing is running which would revert. Honestly we have no clue why this is happening so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
3. Some pages have “guzzle” in the Datadog flame graph which appears to be doing a GET for images that we are storing in S3. We have a cloudfront behavior which sends /wp-content/uploads to the appropriate bucket so I cannot think of any reason for this process to be needed (see details below). Is there any way to turn this off/stop it from happening? This accounts for 75% of load time on pages which it appears.
