Note If you set a parameter at plan level, developers cannot change the value when creating or updating service instances.

Configuration Parameters

You can provision a service by running:

cf create-service csb-google-redis PLAN-NAME SERVICE-INSTANCE-NAME -c '{"PARAMETER-NAME": "PARAMETER-VALUE"}'

You can update the configuration parameters for a service instance by running:

cf update-service SERVICE-INSTANCE-NAME -c '{"PARAMETER-NAME": "PARAMETER-VALUE"}'

The following table lists the parameters that you can configure, by using the -c flag, when provisioning a csb-google-redis service:

Parameter Name	Type	Description	Default	Operation
display_name	string	The display name of the Redis instance.	INSTANCE-ID	provision and update
memory_size_gb	integer	The size of the instance in gigabytes, 1–300.	4	provision and update
instance_id	string	Permanent identifier for your instance.	csb-INSTANCE-ID	provision and update
region	string	The region of the Redis instance.	us-central1	provision and update

{
    "host" : "INSTANCE-HOST",
    "port" : "INSTANCE-PORT",
    "memory_size_gb" : "INSTANCE-SIZE-GB",
    "service_tier" : "SERVICE-TIER",
    "redis_version" : "REDIS-VERSION"
}
