How do I rotate database credentials for my instances?

Context For security purposes, you may need to rotate the credentials for your database instances. This article explains the process for rotating credentials for SQL and Redis instances. Answer Credential rotation varies depending on the type of database and cloud: SQL Databases SQL credentials can be rotated across all your environments (development, staging, and production). Contact our support team to rotate the credentials for your SQL instances. The rotation process is seamless and can be performed without service interruption. Redis Instances Redis authentication uses a different security model: Redis uses AUTH, which is a secure, internal-only secret Regular rotation is not required unless there is a suspected compromise If rotation is necessary, it requires creating a new instance and migrating traffic, as credentials cannot be simply updated on existing instances We recommend only rotating Redis credentials if there is evidence of compromise To request SQL credential rotation, please contact our support team with the specific environments that need rotation. For Redis credential concerns, please specify if you have evidence of compromise that would necessitate rotation.
