Evaluate Redis Helm Charts
The evaluation of redis operators #1339 (closed) did not yield any promising candidates for operator-based deployments.
However, we did discover actively maintained helm charts that build on top of StatefulSet
:
If StatefulSet supports our use cases well enough without the need of a custom operator, then this could be a good path forward.
Criteria
- Chart is actively maintained
- Chart is production ready
- Chart supports Sentinel vs Redis cluster
- Chart supports custom images
- Chart supports custom redis config
Evaluation
We will proceed with the bitnami/redis
chart.
It is actively maintained. With a few improvements it can be made production ready. It has baked-in support for sentinel. It supports custom images and custom redis config.
