Overview
Valkey on Ubuntu 24.04. Valkey is a high-performance data structure server that primarily serves key/value workloads. It supports a wide range of native structures and an extensible plugin system for adding new data structures and access patterns.
Highlights
- Use Valkey on AWS to provide a cache for your applications running on AWS. Supports high availability. Easily create a Valkey Cluster on AWS.
- Valkey provides data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes, and streams. Valkey has built-in replication, Lua scripting, LRU eviction, transactions, and different levels of on-disk persistence.
- Valkey stores the whole dataset in primary memory, that's why it is extremely fast. Valkey supports sharding. It is very easy to distribute the dataset across multiple Valkey instances, like other key-value store.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Additional details
Usage instructions
You can find the configuration file at /etc/valkey/valkey.conf
Valkey was forked from the open-source Redis project right before the transition to their new source available licenses. So, for now, the Redis documentation still applies: https://redis.io/docs/Â .
The default port is still 6379, so, go ahead, spin a new instance, and replace your current Redis instance with this Valkey one.
You can use the service command in order to manage the valkey server using: sudo service valkey start|stop|restart|status By default the valkey server is started when the instance starts.
By default Valkey binds to all the interfaces and has no authentication at all. If you use Valkey in a very controlled environment, separated from the external internet and in general from attackers, that's fine. However, if an unhardened Valkey is exposed to the internet, it is a big security concern. If you are not 100% sure your environment is secured properly, please check Valkey installation docs: https://valkey.io/topics/installation/Â
To configure TLS you can follow the instructions here: https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey?tab=readme-ov-file#running-valkey-with-tlsÂ
