Redis

Redis is an open-source, in-memory data store used as a database, cache, message broker, and streaming engine. Its sub-millisecond latency and rich data structures make it essential for real-time applications, session management, and leaderboards.

REDIS ADDON IN ACTION

Run Redis through real lifecycle, availability, scaling, and recovery workflows

Operate Redis through lifecycle, high availability, scaling, tuning, backup, observability, accessibility, audit, and data management workflows backed by real KubeBlocks Enterprise screenshots.

KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis create wizard showing version, topology, and resource settings

The create wizard lets users choose the Redis mode, version, shards, replicas, and baseline resources before the cluster is created.

KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis restart dialog showing scheduled lifecycle controls

Lifecycle actions stay close to the running cluster so users can restart Redis with clear execution timing and confirmation controls.

Lifecycle

Deploy Redis clusters and handle routine lifecycle changes from one console

Launch Redis with the version, topology, and baseline resources your workload needs, then restart, stop, or start the service with clear status visibility throughout each step.

  • Create Redis in Cluster, Replication, Sentinel, or Standalone mode with version, shard, replica, resource, and storage choices selected up front.
  • Use in-console restart, stop, and start actions when users need planned lifecycle changes.
  • Follow cluster status, topology progress, and runtime details from the overview after provisioning.
KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis Sentinel switchover dialog showing leader promotion controls

The Sentinel switchover flow lets users promote a specific replica to leader with clear execution controls before the task starts.

High Availability

Run planned Redis Sentinel switchover with explicit leader promotion controls

Use Redis Sentinel switchover to promote a selected secondary to leader when users need controlled failover, maintenance, or role verification without leaving the console.

  • Open Switchover from the Sentinel overview once primary and secondary roles are healthy.
  • Choose the target secondary instance and run the promotion immediately or during a planned window.
  • Verify leader changes in the topology view after the switchover task completes.
KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis vertical scaling dialog showing a larger CPU and memory option selected

Vertical Scaling gives users a clear way to move Redis to a larger compute profile when application demand increases.

KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis rebalance dialog opened from the Actions menu

The Rebalance action stays available at the cluster level so users can redistribute Redis Cluster data after topology changes without hunting for a separate workflow.

Scaling

Expand Redis capacity and rebalance data without leaving the console

Increase Redis compute resources when workloads grow and trigger cluster rebalance from the same management surface so capacity changes stay controlled and visible.

  • Use Vertical Scaling to move from smaller to larger CPU and memory specifications.
  • Run Redis Cluster rebalance directly from the Actions menu when data needs to be redistributed.
  • Choose immediate or scheduled execution windows for topology-sensitive changes.
KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis parameters page showing Redis configuration values

Parameter management helps users adjust Redis behavior with the current configuration visible before they commit changes.

Tuning

Tune Redis parameters with a clear view of runtime settings

Review parameter templates and configurable Redis settings before making changes so users can tune persistence, memory behavior, and runtime defaults with fewer blind spots.

  • Inspect the Redis parameter list before changing live configuration.
  • Update runtime settings with the current template and editable fields visible in context.
  • Tune cache, persistence, and memory-related behavior for different workload patterns.
KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis backup dialog showing backup settings

Backup creation helps users capture a Redis recovery point before maintenance or change-heavy work.

KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis restore page showing recovery configuration

Restore guidance helps users recover Redis with less guesswork during validation or incident response.

Backup

Protect Redis data with guided backup and restore workflows

Safeguard Redis with on-demand backups and guided restore flows that help users prepare for validation, recovery, and environment rebuild scenarios.

  • Create fresh Redis backups before risky changes or release events.
  • Walk through restore targets and recovery settings from the console.
  • Keep data protection steps visible for validation and incident response workflows.
KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis metrics dashboard showing Redis health and resource charts

Metrics reveal Redis health and resource trends that help users spot pressure before it becomes an outage.

KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis logs page showing runtime log output

Runtime logs provide direct visibility into Redis activity for diagnosis and operational review.

Observability

Monitor Redis health, performance, and runtime activity

Track the signals that matter for production Redis, including memory trends, connections, and runtime behavior during troubleshooting.

  • Monitor memory, connections, and service health from Cluster Monitor.
  • Inspect Runtime Log when users need to diagnose incidents or unusual behavior.
  • Keep operational signals available without leaving the database console.
KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis overview showing private endpoint connection information

Connection details stay easy to find so users can wire applications to Redis faster.

Accessibility

Share the right Redis endpoints with application teams faster

Expose the connection details users need for service handoff, troubleshooting, and environment integration without digging through infrastructure objects.

  • View Redis private endpoint details directly from the cluster overview.
  • Hand connection information to application teams with less back-and-forth.
  • Speed up troubleshooting when users need to confirm how Redis is exposed.
KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis tasks page showing a successful switchover record

Task history gives users a practical audit trail for Redis operational work, including completed switchover activity.

Audit

Review Redis operational history through task records

See when operational actions were triggered and how they completed so users have a clearer record of lifecycle, scaling, and configuration changes.

  • Review switchover, restart, stop, start, and parameter change records in one place.
  • Check whether each Redis task succeeded, failed, or is still running.
  • Keep a built-in timeline of operational work for production audit and handoff.
KubeBlocks Enterprise Redis credentials page showing a created ACL user

ACL user management helps users provision Redis access without overexposing commands or data scope.

Data Management

Control Redis access with ACL user management

Create Redis users for applications and teams while controlling command and keyspace permissions to support stronger access governance.

  • Create Redis ACL users directly from the Credentials page.
  • Grant only the permissions required for each application access pattern.
  • Support more controlled multi-application and multi-team Redis usage.
