Creating a Redis Database
This page covers the configuration specific to Redis — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.
Database Mode
Select the topology under Database Mode. Three modes are available:
- Standalone — A single-node Redis instance. Best for development or low-traffic workloads.
- Cluster — A sharded Redis Cluster for horizontal scaling and high availability.
- Sentinel — A primary/replica setup monitored by Redis Sentinel for automatic failover.
| Mode | Key fields |
|---|---|
| Cluster | Master count and Replicas per master. |
| Sentinel | Number of Replicas and the referenced Sentinel instance. |
Create a Redis Database
- Open the wizard and select Redis — see Getting Started and Select a Database Type.
- Set the namespace and name.
- Pick the database version and the Database Mode described above, then set the machine profile and storage — see Configure the Database.
- Optionally configure Advanced Configuration (labels, deletion policy, credentials, point-in-time recovery) and Additional Options (monitoring, backup, TLS, gateway).
- Click Deploy.
