# Managed Redis

DuploCloud supports Redis database instances. Redis stands for Remote Dictionary Server and is a fast, open-source, in-memory, key-value data store. Redis can function as a database, cache, message broker, and queue.

Redis delivers sub-millisecond response times, enabling millions of requests per second for real-time applications.

## Adding a Redis database instance

1. In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to **Cloud Services** -> **Redis**.
2. Click **Add**. The **Add Redis Instance** page displays.

5. From the **Tier** list box, select **Basic** for a Tier0 standalone instance; select **Standard** for a Tier1 High Availability primary/replica instance.
6. In the **Memory Size** field, enter memory size in gigabytes (GB).
7. In the **Redis Config** field, specify the Redis configuration.
8. In the **Labels** field, specify `key`/`value` pairs.
9. Select **Enable Auth and Security** to enable OSS Redis AUTH for the Redis instance.
10. Select Enable **Encryption-in-Transit** to select the TLS mode of the Redis instance.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/overview-1/gcp-services/gcp-databases/managed-redis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
