Create instances

Console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Memorystore for Redis Clusterpage.

   Memorystore for Redis Cluster

2. Click Create cluster.

3. In the Name your cluster instancesection, enter an ID for the cluster. The Cluster ID must use only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. It must also start with a letter and be unique in its region.

4. From the Regionmenu, select a region for your cluster.

5. In the Zonal availabilitysection, select the Multi-zoneoption because you want to create a multi-zone cluster.

6. In the Node Typesection, select one of the following node types :

   • Shared-Core( redis-shared-core-nano )
   • Small( redis-standard-small )
   • Medium( redis-highmem-medium )
   • X-Large( redis-highmem-xlarge )

7. In the Cluster sizesection, enter the number of shards for your cluster. The shard count determines the total memory capacity for storing cluster data. For more information about cluster specifications, see Cluster and node specification .

8. If you want to create a cluster with replicas, then in the Replicassection, select the number of replicas (per shard). You can select 0-5 replicas. The default value is 1 replica.

9. In the Set up connectionsection, select the network that your applications can use to connect to this cluster. For more information about private networking for Memorystore for Redis Cluster, see Networking overview .

10. Optional. If you want to increase the security of your cluster, then in the Securitysection, enable IAM authentication by selecting the Enable IAM AUTHcheckbox.

11. In the Data persistence strategysection, specify how you want Memorystore for Redis Cluster to persist the data in your cluster. Acceptable values are No persistence, Append Only File (AOF)persistence , and Redis Database (RDB)persistence .

12. Optional. If you want to enable automated backups for your cluster, then do the following:

    1. Select the Automated daily backupscheckbox.
    2. In the Days to retain backupsfield, enter the number of days that you want Memorystore for Redis Cluster to keep backups before they're deleted automatically. You can specify from 1 to 365 days. The default value is 35 days.
    3. From the Time windowmenu, select a time for the daily backup.

13. Click Create cluster.

gcloud

To create a Memorystore for Redis Cluster instance, run the create command:

gcloud redis clusters create INSTANCE_ID 
\
--region= REGION_ID 
\
--network= NETWORK 
\
--replica-count= REPLICA_COUNT 
\
--node-type= NODE_TYPE 
\
--shard-count= SHARD_COUNT 

Replace the following:

• INSTANCE_ID is the ID of the Memorystore for Redis Cluster instance you're creating. Your instance ID must be 1 to 63 characters and use only lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens. It must start with a lowercase letter and end with a lowercase letter or number.

• REGION_ID is the region where you want the instance placed.

• NETWORK is the network used to create your instance. It must use the format: projects/NETWORK_PROJECT_ID/global/networks/NETWORK_ID . The network ID used here must match the network ID used by the service connection policy. Otherwise, the create operation fails.

• REPLICA_COUNT is the number of replicas (per shard). Accepted values are 0 - 5 .

• NODE_TYPE is your chosen node type. Accepted values are:

  • redis-shared-core-nano
  • redis-standard-small
  • redis-highmem-medium
  • redis-highmem-xlarge

• SHARD_COUNT determines the number of shards in your instance. Shard count determines the total memory capacity for storing cluster data. To see more details about cluster specification, see Cluster and node specification .

For example:

gcloud alpha redis clusters create my-instance \
--region=us-central1 \
--network=projects/my-project-335118/global/networks/default \
--replica-count=2 \
--node-type=redis-highmem-medium \
--shard-count=8

By default, in-transit encryption is disabled, and the authorized network is default .
