  "content": "\nThis section provides complete YAML examples that cover common Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes deployment scenarios. Each example includes the necessary configuration files and step-by-step instructions for editing and applying them.\n\n## How to use these examples\n\n### Download and customize\n\n1. Copy the YAML content from the examples below\n2. Save each YAML block to a separate file with a descriptive name\n3. Edit the configuration values to match your environment\n4. Apply the files in the correct order using `kubectl apply`\n\n### Configuration storage\n\nRedis Enterprise for Kubernetes stores configuration in several places:\n\n- Custom resources: Cluster and database specifications are stored as Kubernetes custom resources (REC, REDB, REAADB, RERC)\n- Secrets: Sensitive data like passwords and certificates are stored in Kubernetes secrets\n- ConfigMaps: Non-sensitive configuration data is stored in ConfigMaps\n- RBAC resources: Permissions are defined through Roles, ClusterRoles, and their bindings\n\n### Applying YAML files\n\nApply YAML files using `kubectl apply`:\n\n```bash\n# Apply a single file\nkubectl apply -f my-config.yaml\n\n# Apply multiple files\nkubectl apply -f rbac/ -f cluster/ -f database/\n\n# Validate files without applying\nkubectl apply --dry-run=client -f my-config.yaml\n```\n\n### Monitoring deployment\n\nCheck the status of your resources after applying:\n\n```bash\n# Check operator deployment\nkubectl get deployment redis-enterprise-operator\n\n# Check cluster status\nkubectl get rec\nkubectl describe rec \u003ccluster-name\u003e\n\n# Check database status\nkubectl get redb\nkubectl describe redb \u003cdatabase-name\u003e\n\n# View events for troubleshooting\nkubectl get events --sort-by=.metadata.creationTimestamp\n```\n\n## Example categories\n\n- [Basic deployment examples](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/reference/yaml/basic-deployment) - Service account, RBAC, cluster, and database configurations\n- [Rack awareness examples](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/reference/yaml/rack-awareness) - Rack-aware cluster configuration and required RBAC\n- [Active-Active examples](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/reference/yaml/active-active) - Multi-cluster Active-Active database setup\n- [Multi-namespace examples](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/reference/yaml/multi-namespace) - Cross-namespace operator and cluster configurations\n- [Log collector RBAC examples](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/reference/yaml/log-collector-rbac) - RBAC permissions for log collection in restricted and all modes\n\n## Best practices\n\n- Validate configuration: Use `kubectl apply --dry-run=client` to validate YAML syntax and object schemas before applying\n- Version control: Store your customized YAML files in version control\n- Resource naming: Use consistent, descriptive names for all resources\n\n## Related documentation\n\n- [Reference](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/reference) - Complete API specifications for all custom resources\n- [Deploy Redis Enterprise Software for Kubernetes](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/deployment/quick-start) - Step-by-step deployment instructions\n- [Manage databases in multiple namespaces](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/re-clusters/multi-namespace) - Detailed multi-namespace setup instructions\n- [Active-Active databases](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/active-active) - Active-Active configuration and management\n",
