🔒 Security
HTTPS enforced. API key/secret pair. Encryption at rest and in transit. SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
An agent needs to manage Redis Cloud infrastructure — monitoring, scaling, or configuring managed Redis databases across cloud providers.
Avoid When
You're using self-hosted Redis or a different managed Redis provider like Upstash.
Use Cases
- • Creating and managing Redis Cloud databases from infrastructure agents
- • Monitoring Redis performance metrics and memory usage from ops agents
- • Managing Redis subscriptions and cluster configurations from platform agents
- • Configuring Redis modules (Search, JSON, TimeSeries) from data agents
- • Setting up Redis ACLs and security configurations from security agents
- • Scaling Redis databases based on performance data from optimization agents
Not For
- • Teams using self-hosted Redis (this is Redis Cloud management only)
- • Teams using Upstash, Dragonfly, or KeyDB
- • Primary data storage (Redis is cache/session/queue layer)
Interface
Authentication
Redis Cloud API key + secret key pair for management API. Keys have account-level access. Role-based access control within Redis databases separate from API keys.
Pricing
Free tier very limited (30MB). Paid plans scale with database size, throughput, and availability zones. Enterprise adds Active-Active geo-distribution.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Two credential sets required: Cloud API key/secret (management) + Redis password (data access)
- ⚠ Database creation is async — agents must poll for ACTIVE status before using
- ⚠ Subscription vs database hierarchy — subscriptions contain multiple databases
- ⚠ Module availability depends on plan tier (Search requires Pro or higher)
- ⚠ Active-Active geo-distribution requires Enterprise subscription
- ⚠ Cloud API and Redis data plane have separate authentication flows
