Redis is an advanced key-value cache and store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps and hyperloglogs.
$ helm install stable/redis-haBy default this chart install 3 pods total:
- one pod containing a redis master and sentinel container (optional prometheus metrics exporter sidecar available)
- two pods each containing a redis slave and sentinel containers (optional prometheus metrics exporter sidecars available)
This chart bootstraps a Redis highly available master/slave statefulset in a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.
- Kubernetes 1.8+ with Beta APIs enabled
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
Please note that there have been a number of changes simplifying the redis management strategy (for better failover and elections) in the 3.x version of this chart. These changes allow the use of official redis images that do not require special RBAC or ServiceAccount roles. As a result when upgrading from version >=2.0.1 to >=3.0.0 of this chart, Role, RoleBinding, and ServiceAccount resources should be deleted manually.
Starting from version 4.x HAProxy sidecar prometheus-exporter removed and replaced by by the embedded HAProxy metrics endpoint, as a result when upgrading from version 3.x to 4.x section haproxy.exporter should be removed and the haproxy.metrics need to be configured for fit your needs.
To install the chart
$ helm install stable/redis-haThe command deploys Redis on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. By default this chart install one master pod containing redis master container and sentinel container along with 2 redis slave pods each containing their own sentinel sidecars. The configuration section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
Tip: List all releases using
helm list
To uninstall/delete the deployment:
$ helm delete <chart-name>The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,
$ helm install \
--set image=redis \
--set tag=5.0.5-alpine \
stable/redis-haThe above command sets the Redis server within default namespace.
Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,
$ helm install -f values.yaml stable/redis-haTip: You can use the default values.yaml
This chart allows for most redis or sentinel config options to be passed as a key value pair through the values.yaml under redis.config and sentinel.config. See links below for all available options.
Example redis.conf Example sentinel.conf
For example repl-timeout 60 would be added to the redis.config section of the values.yaml as:
repl-timeout: "60"Note:
-
Some config options should be renamed by redis version，e.g.:
# In redis 5.x，see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/redis/5.0/redis.conf min-replicas-to-write: 1 min-replicas-max-lag: 5 # In redis 4.x and redis 3.x，see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/redis/4.0/redis.conf and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/redis/3.0/redis.conf min-slaves-to-write 1 min-slaves-max-lag 5
Sentinel options supported must be in the the sentinel <option> <master-group-name> <value> format. For example, sentinel down-after-milliseconds 30000 would be added to the sentinel.config section of the values.yaml as:
down-after-milliseconds: 30000If more control is needed from either the redis or sentinel config then an entire config can be defined under redis.customConfig or sentinel.customConfig. Please note that these values will override any configuration options under their respective section. For example, if you define sentinel.customConfig then the sentinel.config is ignored.
Redis may require some changes in the kernel of the host machine to work as expected, in particular increasing the somaxconn value and disabling transparent huge pages.
To do so, you can set up a privileged initContainer with the sysctlImage config values, for example:
sysctlImage:
enabled: true
mountHostSys: true
command:
- /bin/sh
- -xc
- |-
sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=10000
echo never > /host-sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
When HAProxy is enabled, it will attempt to connect to each announce-service of each redis replica instance in its init container before starting.
It will fail if announce-service IP is not available fast enough (10 seconds max by announce-service).
A such case could happen if the orchestator is pending the nomination of redis pods.
Risk is limited because announce-service is using publishNotReadyAddresses: true, although, in such case, HAProxy pod will be rescheduled afterward by the orchestrator.
