Plan Redis Enterprise Software deployment

Before installing Redis Enterprise Software, you need to:

• Set up your hardware. See Hardware requirements and Persistent and ephemeral node storage for more information.

• Choose your deployment platform.

  Redis Enterprise Software supports a variety of platforms, including:

  • Multiple Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), IBM CentOS, Oracle Linux)
  • Amazon AWS AMI
  • Docker container (for development and testing only)
  • Kubernetes

  For more details, see Supported platforms.

• Open appropriate network ports in the firewall to allow connections to the nodes.

• Configure cluster DNS so that cluster nodes can reach each other by DNS names.

• By default, the installation process requires an internet connection to install dependencies and synchronize the operating system clock. To learn more, see Offline installation.
