The Redis Helm chart provides a simple and efficient way to deploy Redis instances in your Kubernetes cluster. It is optimized for scalability, persistence, and performance, making it suitable for caching, messaging, and data storage workloads.

Add Helm Repository

Before deploying the Redis chart, add the repository to your Helm installation and update the repository index:

helm repo add zopdev https://helm.zop.dev
helm repo update

See Helm Repository Documentation for more information.

Install Helm Chart

To install the Redis Helm chart, execute the following command:

helm install [RELEASE_NAME] zopdev/redis

Replace [RELEASE_NAME] with the desired release name.

For example:

helm install my-redis zopdev/redis

To customize the deployment, use a custom values.yaml file or override values via command-line arguments.

See Helm Install Documentation for further details.

Uninstall Helm Chart

To uninstall the Redis Helm chart and remove all associated Kubernetes resources, use:

helm uninstall [RELEASE_NAME]

For example:

helm uninstall my-redis

See Helm Uninstall Documentation for additional details.

Configuration

The Redis Helm chart provides a variety of configurable parameters. The table below outlines the key configurations:

You can override these values in a values.yaml file or pass them as flags during installation.

Example values.yaml File

To use this configuration, save it in a values.yaml file and apply it during installation:

Features

• Persistence: Store Redis data across pod restarts using persistent volume claims.

• Resource Optimization: Define resource requests and limits to suit your workload and cluster capacity.

• Rolling Updates: Ensure zero downtime during updates with the default RollingUpdate strategy.

• Customizable Configurations: Flexibly tailor the deployment using Helm values.

Advanced Usage

Custom Persistent Volume Configuration

You can customize the persistent volume size and storage class for Redis data by updating the values.yaml file:

Scaling Redis

To scale Redis pods or create replicas, adjust the configuration to enable clustering. For example, use a stateful set for Redis replicas or Sentinel for high availability.
