Redis Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets. Learn More at the introduction.
This cookbook provides a method to host a dedicated redis instance. This recipe should NOT be used on your Database instance as it is not designed for that instance. Additionally it will not change nor modify your database instance in anyway what so ever.
- 1+ utility instances
- over-commit is enabled by default to ensure the least amount of problems saving your database.
- 64-bit is required for storing over 2gigabytes worth of keys.
- /etc/hosts mapping for
redis_instanceso that a hard config can be used to connect
This cookbook does not automate nor facilitate any backup method currently. By default there is a snapshot enabled for your environment and that should provide a viable backup to recover from. If you have any backup concerns open a ticket with our Support Team.
Simply add a utility instance named redis and the recipe will use that instance for redis.
A large portion of the defaults of this recipe have been moved to a attribute file; if you need to change how often you save; review the attribute file and modify.
