Connection

Parameter Explanation

  • Connection Address

    Domain name address of the instance.

    Connect to the instance by using the domain name, if any.

  • Read-only Address

    This address is provided for connecting to the standby node of a master/standby DCS Redis 4.0 or later basic edition instance. Read/Write splitting can be implemented on a client that is able to distinguish between read and write requests.

    Requests sent to the read-only address may fail if the standby node is faulty. If your application is sensitive to reliability and latency, use read/write splitting instances.

  • IP Address

    IP address of the instance.

    To connect to a Redis Cluster instance which has multiple IP addresses, configure at least two IP addresses on the client.

Does DCS for Redis Support SSL Encrypted Transmission?
