Redis is an easy-to-use, high-speed key-value store that can be used as a database, cache, and message broker. It supports a range of data structures including strings, lists, hashes, sets, bitmaps, HyperLogLogs, and geospatial indexes. It is easy to install and configure and is popular with engineers as a straightforward NoSQL datastore. It is used for everything from a quick way to store data for development and testing through to enterprise-scale apps like Twitter.
Redis for Tanzu Application Service packages Redis for easy deployment and operability.
There are two service offerings:
On-Demand Service—Provides a dedicated VM running a Redis instance. The operator can configure up to three plans with different configurations, memory sizes, and quotas App developers can provision an instance for any of the On-Demand plans offered and configure certain Redis settings.
Shared-VM Service—Provides support for a number of Redis instances running in a single VM. It is designed for testing and development purposes only, do not use the Shared-VM service in production environments. The Shared-VM instances are pre-provisioned by the operator with a fixed number of instances and memory size. App developers can then use one of these pre-provisioned instances.
