Redis Enterprise database (REDB) lifecycle

A Redis Enterprise database (REDB) is created with a custom resource file. The custom resource defines the size, name, and other specifications for the REDB. The database is created when you apply the custom resource file.

Configure modules

Redis Enterprise modules extend Redis functionality with additional data types, commands, and capabilities. Redis Enterprise versions 8.0.2 and later include several bundled modules that are automatically enabled for compatible database types. You can also add user-defined modules for additional functionality.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, verify the following:

Create replica databases on Kubernetes

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

You can configure a replica of a database by creating an item in the replicaSources section of the RedisEnterpriseDatabase (REDB) custom resource.

A secret must be created with the stringData section containing the replica source URI as follows:

Create a secret with the replica source URI listed in the stringData field as follows:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
   name: my-replica-source
stringData:
   uri: <replica-source-uri-goes-here>

The replica source URL can be retrieved by going to "UI > database > configuration > Press the button Get Replica of source URL" in the administrative UI. But, this information can also be retrieved directly from the REST API as well.
