Scalable kubernetes redis cluster using Secrets for authentication

k8-parrot-redis

Scalable kubernetes redis cluster.

Steps:

1. Create a separate namespace to isolate redis components:

   kubectl create ns redis
   

2. Create a Secret and call it redis-secret with REDIS_PASSWORD in it:

   kubectl -n redis create secret generic redis-secret \
   --from-literal=REDIS_PASSWORD=$(echo -n your_secret_password | base64)
   

3. Apply Redis ConfigMap:

   kubectl -n redis apply -f kubernetes/config/redis-configmap.yaml
   

4. Apply Redis StatefulSet (change amount of replicas if needed, default is 3):

   kubectl -n redis apply -f kubernetes/config/redis-statefulset.yaml
   

5. Apply Sentinel StatefulSet (amount of replicas has to be greater than 3):

   kubectl -n redis apply -f kubernetes/config/sentinel-statefulset.yaml
