Redis is an advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data
structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and
sorted sets.
You can run atomic operations on these types, like appending to a string;
incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set
intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest
ranking in a sorted set.
In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Redis works with an
in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either
by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending
each command to a log.
Redis also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very
fast non-blocking first synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split
and so forth.
Other features include Transactions, Pub/Sub, Lua scripting, Keys with a
limited time-to-live, and configuration settings to make Redis behave like
a cache.
You can use Redis from most programming languages also.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time. Alternatively, you can pay upfront for a contract, which typically covers your anticipated usage for the contract duration. Any usage beyond contract will incur additional usage-based costs.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance size you run BastionLinux/Redis on. Each dimension maps to one AWS instance type, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, and storage class you choose. General-purpose (m-series), compute-optimized (c-series), memory-optimized (r- and x-series), storage-dense (i- and d-series), and accelerated (g-, p-, inf-, trn-series) families are all available. Larger sizes within a family cost more per hour. You match the instance to your Redis workload's memory and throughput needs, then pay only for the hours you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for each hourly instance charge?
Each hourly charge covers one running EC2 instance of the size you pick, preloaded with BastionLinux and Redis. Redis runs as an in-memory key-value store, cluster-enabled by default. The instance type you select sets the memory, CPU, and storage available to your Redis workload.
Am I charged when my Redis instance is stopped?
Software charges meter running instance-hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue hourly software fees. You may still pay underlying AWS storage costs for attached volumes while stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
If I add more Redis nodes to the cluster, how does my cost change?
Redis is cluster-enabled by default, and you can add more nodes from the original node. Each node runs on its own EC2 instance and bills separately at that instance type's hourly rate. Total cost is the sum of all running instances' hourly charges.

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.
Version release notes
Auto Tiering (enhanced successor to Redis on Flash).
RESP3 support.
Sharded pub/sub.
Upgrade Steps
You may upgrade your instance using the following command from the shell:
$ dnf update redis
Additional details
Usage instructions
Start an instance with 1-Click, or optionally using your cloud provider's web/console
Have just a little patience: it does take a couple of minutes for all the background
: services to start up in your instance. If you get connection refused or site error
messages - just wait a moment
SSH into your instance and then verify your redis service:
: redis-cli --pass <your instance-id> cluster nodes
Your Redis is now fully configured and ready to be used with your application stack. If for example, you have our Airflow - edit the broker_url variable to redis://<REDIS_PASSWORD>@<Instance_Public_IP_DNS>:6379/<DB_NUMBER> in /etc/airflow/airflow.cfg.
Status Checks
Your product (and all supporting processes) is monitored and restarted via our monit suite. You can verify everything is 'OK' with the following:

Sensitive Information
redis contains no cryptographically stored data and does not perform
any encryption at rest.
Local X509 PKI may be utilised to manage network-based TLS. All certificates and keys are stored locally in /etc/pki and it is completely at your discretion to regenerate any of these at any time; the product will transparently operate on any consistent set of configured keys.
redis ships with openssl, step-cli and other popular tools to facilitate certificate regeneration.
