Configure a Memorystore for Redis instance

In App Design Center, you can configure a Memorystore for Redis instance to provide fully managed, scalable in-memory Redis caching for your Google Cloud applications without managing complex Redis deployments. You can customize the instance's component connections and configuration parameters based on the terraform-google-memorystore Terraform module.

Component connections

The following table includes the components that you can connect to a Memorystore for Redis instance, and the resulting updates to your application and its generated Terraform code.

Connected component	Application updates	Background information
Compute Engine instance template	The Compute Engine instances can manage and cache data in the Memorystore instance. The Memorystore connection information is added to the Compute Engine instance template metadata. The roles/redis.editor role is added to the Compute Engine service account.	Deployment options for Redis on Google Cloud
service account	The service account can manage the Memorystore for Redis instance. The roles/redis.editor role is added to the service account.	The Memorystore for Redis service account
Cloud Run	The Cloud Run service can cache data in the Memorystore for Redis instance. The Memorystore for Redis connection information is added to the Cloud Run environment variables. The roles/redis.editor role is added to the Cloud Run service account.	Connecting to a Redis instance from a Cloud Run service

Required configuration parameters

If your template includes a Memorystore for Redis component, you must configure the following parameters before you deploy.

Parameter name	Description and constraints	Background information
