hey all 👋 i’m running fleet on k8s, with a managed GCP mysql server. does anyone have recommendations on whether it’s better to run a managed redis service (on GCP), or as a sidecar container within the k8s deployment? also, what are the typical redis requirements, like 5, 10, 25GB?
b
I’d say managed redis is definitely the easiest way to go. How many hosts do you plan on enrolling?
p
hard to say, but let’s say ~30,000
i’m considering cost a slight factor, but not mandatory if a managed redis is much more performant or otherwise more effective. i bring that up because i saw how a 25GB high availability managed redis service is ~$1k a month for just one instance! didn’t expect it to be that high

oh nice! i was looking for this, thank you!!

Woah. Yeah I don’t think you’d need that beefy of a redis instance.
p
this is great, thanks, i think i’ll stick with managed redis, which i’ve already setup anyway, and reduce down heavily and watch the load
thanks benjamin!
