Question: Is Redis Enterprise Operator free to use?
Answer
Yes, Redis Enterprise Operator is free to use. It's an extension of Kubernetes (K8s) that lets you manage the lifecycle of your Redis Enterprise deployments.
However, while the operator itself is open-source and free, it controls the Redis Enterprise Cluster, which is not free.
Here is a basic example of how you can deploy Redis Enterprise Operator on Kubernetes:
apiVersion: app.redislabs.com/v1alpha1 kind: RedisEnterpriseCluster metadata: name: redis-enterprise spec: nodes: 3 version: "6.0.12-57" uiServiceType: LoadBalancer
This YAML declaration will create a Redis Enterprise Cluster with 3 nodes. The version
field denotes the version of Redis Enterprise software, and the uiServiceType: LoadBalancer
ensures that a load balancer service is created for external access to the cluster management interface.
You need to apply this configuration to your kubernetes cluster using kubectl
command:
kubectl apply -f my_redis_cluster.yaml
Remember, while the Operator is free, a Redis Enterprise subscription comes at a cost. Please refer to the Redis Labs Pricing page for additional details.
