Choose a Region and a CIDR, like what is shown below.
Simply choose default values here.
On the Sizing tab, click on + button to add a new database.
Give your database a name and select RediSearch and RedisJSON modules.
Depending upon the total number of documents you intend to use in your vector database, you will need to start with a specific data size for your applications. For this exercise, use the approximate sizing table below to help pick a starting point (which you can always adjust up or down later on).
| Total Size of Documents in S3 | Db size w/out replication (no HA) | Db size w/ replication (HA) |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 KB | 135 MB | 270 MB |
| 100,000 KB | 1.35 GB | 2.7 GB |
| 1,000,000 KB | 13.5 GB | 27 GB |
| 10,000,000 KB | 135 GB | 270 GB |
If you would like to understand the rationale behind the above calculations, please check out the announcement blog that has more details.
Alternatively, you can select a simple minimalistic configuration for now (example: Memory = 1 GB and Throughput Shards = 1) and adjust later.
Once you review the total cost price, and other details, simply click on the Create subscription button to create Redis Enterprise Cloud Flexible subscription.
The actual subscription creation may take approximately 5 mins to 15mins.
Once the subscription is created, you will see that it is ready with a Green amber light on in the Status column.

Go ahead and turn on the TLS (Annotation 1). You will download the Cloud certificate authority (Annotation 2).
You will also check TLS client authentication (Annotation 3).
You will Generate certificate (Annotation 4).
And finally you will click on the Save database (Annotation 5).
When you click on Generate certificate, you will see the certificate text appearing between -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -------END CERTIFICATE---------. (Annotation 1)
Make sure you download the certificates (Annotation 2) before saving the the database configurations.(Annotation 3)
Redis Enterprise Cloud on AWS is now ready for your use. Typically, the developers need an endpoint, a user password and the server certificate to connect to the database from their applications.
Redis web console also gives you code snippets on how to connect from different clients. Choose the one that is appropriate to your client applications.
Like mentioned above, here is how you can get the password to your Redis database.
By now, you have spun up a Redis Enterprise Cloud subscription in AWS and validated the connection. Next, you will need to create a vector index.
Make sure to hold on to the following details for your database as you will need these for the final integration step.
Redis Enterprise Cloud Database Hostname
Redis Enterprise Cloud Database Port Number
Redis Enterprise Cloud Database Password
Redis Enterprise Cloud Database Server & Client certs for TLS
