Buying a GeminiDB Redis Cluster Instance

Updated on 2025-01-24 GMT+08:00

This section describes how to buy a cluster Redis instance on the GeminiDB console.

  • With a sharded cluster architecture, a proxy cluster instance can be connected through proxies and is compatible with a single Redis node, Redis Sentinel, and Redis Cluster. The cluster instance has strong horizontal scaling capabilities and can handle millions of QPS and dozens of terabytes of data.
  • A Redis Cluster instance uses a sharded architecture and can be directly connected to Redis Cluster. This type of instance can greatly reduce latency while improving performance.

Each tenant can create a maximum of 50 GeminiDB Redis instances by default. To request a higher quota, choose Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket in the upper right corner of the console and contact customer service.

Prerequisites

  • You have created a Huawei Cloud account.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Huawei Cloud console.
  2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB Redis API.
  3. On the Instances page, click Buy DB Instance.
  4. On the displayed page, specify a billing mode and instance specifications and click Next.

    Parameter

    Description

    Billing Mode

    Select Yearly/Monthly or Pay-per-use.

    • Yearly/Monthly
      • Specify Required Duration. The system deducts fees from your account based on the service price.
      • If you do not need such an instance any longer after it expires, change the billing mode to pay-per-use. For details, see Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use.
        NOTE:

        Yearly/Monthly instances cannot be deleted directly. If such an instance is no longer required, unsubscribe from it. For details, see How Do I Unsubscribe from Yearly/Monthly Instances?.

    • Pay-per-use
      • If you select this billing mode, you are billed based on how much time the instance is in use.
      • To use an instance for a long time, change its billing mode to yearly/monthly to reduce costs. For details, see Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly.
    Table 2 Basic information

    Parameter

    Description

    Region

    Region where a tenant is located

    NOTICE:

    To reduce network latency, select a region nearest from which you will access the instance. Instances deployed in different regions cannot communicate with each other over a private network. After you buy an instance, you cannot change its region.

    DB Instance Name

    The instance name:

    • Can be the same as an existing instance name.
    • Can contain 4 to 64 characters and must start with a letter. It is case-sensitive and allows only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). If the name contains Chinese characters, the length cannot exceed 64 bytes.

    You can change the name of an instance after it is created. For details, see Modifying a GeminiDB Redis Instance Name.

    Compatible API

    Redis.

    Product Type

    • Standard: Stable and low-latency performance is provided, suitable for common scenarios such as advertising and recommendation, gaming, e-commerce, and Internet of Vehicles (IoV).
    • Capacity-oriented: Large-capacity key-value storage is provided, suitable for average performance requirements and expectations of low costs.

    DB Instance Type

    • Proxy cluster:

    With a sharded cluster architecture, a proxy cluster instance can be connected through proxies and is compatible with a single Redis node, Redis Sentinel, and Redis Cluster. The cluster instance has strong horizontal scaling capabilities and can handle millions of QPS and dozens of terabytes of data.

    • RedisCluster

    A Redis Cluster instance uses a sharded architecture and can be directly connected to Redis Cluster. This type of instance can greatly reduce latency while improving performance.

    NOTE:

    To create a Redis Cluster instance, choose Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket in the upper right corner of the console and contact customer service to grant required permissions.

    Compatible Version

    7.0, 6.2 (including 6.2.X), 5.0, and earlier versions

    CPU Type

    x86

    x86 CPUs use the Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) instruction set. Each instruction can be used to execute low-level hardware operations. Executing these instructions is complex and time-consuming.

    AZ

    Availability zone where the instance is created. An AZ is a part of a region with its own independent power supplies and networks. AZs are physically isolated but can communicate with each other over a private network.

    Instances can be deployed in a single AZ or three AZs.

    • If low network latency is required, deploy your instance in one AZ.
    • If disaster recovery is required, select three AZs, and nodes of your instance will be evenly distributed across the three AZs.
    Figure 3 Storage and specifications (standard)
    Table 3 Specifications and storage

    Parameter

    Description

    Instance Creation Method

    Two options are available:

    • Fast configure

      Provides you with recommended specifications. You can select one of them based on service requirements, without the need to specify the specifications, node quantity, and storage space.

      NOTE:
      • Instance specifications with the memory of 8 GB and 16 GB are available only in single AZs. The console shows available specifications.
      • The QPS is only for reference.
    • Standard configure

      Provides a standard process to configure instance specifications, including specifying the specifications, node quantity, and storage space.

      Currently, a maximum of 36 nodes are supported. To create more nodes, choose Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket in the upper right corner of the console and contact customer service.

    Instance Specifications

    Higher CPU specifications provide better performance. Select specifications based on your service requirements.

    For details, see Instance Specifications.

    Specification Preview

    After you select instance specifications, the system automatically shows details of the total capacity, node specifications, number of nodes, QPS benchmark, total number of connections, and number of data copies. This helps keep track of the selected instance specifications.

    Autoscaling

    You can determine whether to enable the function based on the site requirements.

    • Storage Usage: If the storage usage exceeds the value you set, the system automatically scales up your instance storage. The options are 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, and 90%.
    • Increase by: specifies the ratio of the increased storage space each time to the total storage space. The value can be 10%, 15%, or 20%.

    Static Data Encryption

    You can determine whether to encrypt static data.

    • Disable: Data is not encrypted.
    • Enable: If you select this option, your data will be encrypted on disks and stored in ciphertext after you create an instance. When you download encrypted objects, the ciphertext will be decrypted into plaintext and then sent to you. Disk encryption can improve data security and may have slight impacts on database writes and reads.

      Key Name: Select an existing key or create one.

      NOTE:
      • This function is in the OBT phase. To use it, choose Service Tickets > Create Service Ticket in the upper right corner of the console and contact customer service.
      • An agency will be created after static data encryption is enabled.
      • After an instance is created, the static data encryption status and the key cannot be changed.
      • The key cannot be disabled, deleted, or frozen when it is in use. Otherwise, the database becomes unavailable.
      • For details about how to create a key, see "Creating a Key" in Data Encryption Workshop User Guide.
    Table 4 Network

    Parameter

    Description

    VPC

    Virtual private network where your instances are located. A VPC isolates networks for different services. You can select an existing VPC or create a VPC.

    For details about how to create a VPC, see "Creating a VPC" in Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

    With VPC sharing, you can also use a VPC and subnet shared by another account.

    VPC owners can share the subnets in a VPC with one or multiple accounts through Resource Access Manager (RAM), which ensures cost efficiency of network resources.

    For more information about VPC subnet sharing, see VPC Sharing in Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

    If there are no VPCs available, the system allocates resources to you by default.

    NOTE:
    • After a GeminiDB Redis instance is created, its VPC cannot be changed.
    • If you want to connect to a GeminiDB Redis instance through an ECS over an internal network, the GeminiDB Redis instance and the ECS must be in the same VPC. If they are not in the same VPC, you can create a VPC peering connection to enable access.

    Subnet

    A subnet where your instance is created. The subnet provides dedicated and isolated networks, improving network security.

    NOTE:

    An IPv6 subnet cannot be associated with your instance. Select an IPv4 subnet.

    Security Group

    A security group controls access between GeminiDB Redis instances and other services. Ensure that the security group you selected allows your client to access the instance.

    If no security group is available, the system creates one for you.

    SSL

    A security protocol. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates set up encrypted connections between clients and servers, preventing data from being tampered with or stolen during transmission.

    You can enable SSL to improve data security. After an instance is created, you can connect to it using SSL.

    NOTE:

    If SSL is not enabled when you create an instance, you can enable it after the instance is created. For details, see Encrypting Data over SSL for a GeminiDB Redis Instance.

    Database Port

    Database port number.

    You can specify a port number based on your requirements. The port number ranges from 1024 to 65535 except 2180, 2887, 3887, 6377, 6378, 6380, 8018, 8079, 8091, 8479, 8484, 8999, 12017, 12333, and 50069.

    If you do not specify a port number, port 6379 is used by default.
