Redis reference¶

Configuration options¶

The spec.redis field takes a list of records of two fields, instance and access. Instance is the instance name and access is the access mode.

spec:
  redis:
    - instance: <RedisInstanceName>
      access: readwrite | read | write | admin

Environment variables¶

Every <RedisInstanceName> will give three environment variables for the applications to use:

Key	Value
`REDIS_URI_<RedisInstanceName>`	The URI for the Redis instance, typically with a `redis` scheme. Example: `rediss://redis-team-sessions-nav-dev.aivencloud.com:26483`
`REDIS_HOST_<RedisInstanceName>`	The host for the Redis instance. Example: `redis-team-sessions-nav-dev.aivencloud.com`
`REDIS_PORT_<RedisInstanceName>`	The port for the Redis instance. Example: `26483`
`REDIS_USERNAME_<RedisInstanceName>`	The username to use when connecting.
`REDIS_PASSWORD_<RedisInstanceName>`	The password to use when connecting.

Advanced configuration¶

For advanced configuration, we recommend creating your Redis instances explicitly, especially if you intend for multiple applications using the same Redis instance.

We use Aivens operator, so the Redis resource is documented in detail in the Aiven documentation.
