Network Conditions for Accessing DCS Redis

You can access a DCS instance through any Redis client. For details about Redis clients, see the Redis official website.

There are different constraints when a client connects to Redis in certain ways:

• Accessing a Redis instance on a client within the same VPC

  The ECS where the client is installed must be in the same VPC as the DCS Redis instance. An ECS and a DCS instance can communicate with each other only when they belong to the same VPC. The IP address of the ECS must be on the whitelist of the DCS instance.

• Accessing a Redis instance on a client across VPCs in the same region

  If the client and DCS Redis instance are not in the same VPC, connect them by establishing a VPC peering connection. For details, see Does DCS Support Cross-VPC Access?
