Ansible Role: Redis

Ansible role for Redis:

• performs an opinionated installation from source code
• tunes OS performance
• configures Redis using include files instead of modifying the redis.conf shipped into the distribution

It's meant to be run on Ubuntu 64-bit, Trusty and Xenial, machines.

IMPORTANT RDB and AOF are disabled by default. Override configuration directives using redis_includes variable in your tasks.

IMPORTANT Don't rename/disable SHUTDOWN command. It's used by the init script.

Requirements
