A recent press release reports, “Redis Labs, the home of Redis and provider of Redis Enterprise, today announced collaboration with Red Hat to make Redis Enterprise available as a hosted and fully-managed database service on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, with built-in support for Kubernetes Operators. This collaboration enables joint customers to more quickly and easily deploy and manage the multi-model Redis Enterprise database as a stateful Kubernetes service, with a goal of enabling customers to automate database management, streamline operations, deliver cloud portability and simplify application development.”

The release continues, “Enterprises are increasingly delivering superior customer experience by leveraging cloud-native architectures that scale elastically and can be updated continuously. Red Hat recently introduced Kubernetes Operators as an open source community project to help reduce the complexity of cloud-native applications. This framework extends the Kubernetes API and simplifies overall operations by creating, configuring and managing complex stateful applications that can function without human intervention.”

It adds, “With its native support for the Operator Framework, Redis Enterprise enables users to create, configure and manage Redis as a stateful service on Kubernetes. This is designed to relieve developers from operational tasks such as provisioning, maintenance, upgrades and backup/failure recovery and enables IT operations to operate more efficiently with a declarative blueprint. Now, developers can more quickly build, test and deploy modern applications at scale and roll out upgrades with zero downtime. Moreover, Kubernetes Operators enable cloud portability, which empowers users to run Redis Enterprise anywhere, whether on-premises or across any public, hybrid or private cloud deployments.”
