Install highly available Valkey with replication New#

Generate a strong password to authenticate MSR 4 with Valkey:

PASSWORD=$(LC_ALL=C tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 </dev/urandom | head -c 24)

Create a Kubernetes secret to securely store the password:
```
kubectl create secret generic msr-valkey-secret \
   --from-literal=REDIS_PASSWORD=${PASSWORD}
```
Note

MSR 4 requires REDIS_PASSWORD as the password field name.

Deploy the Valkey instance:

helm install msr-valkey oci://registry.mirantis.com/harbor/helm/mirantis-valkey/valkey \
    --set replica.enabled=true \
    --set replica.replicas=2 \
    --set auth.existingSecret=msr-valkey-secret \
    --set auth.existingSecretKey=REDIS_PASSWORD \
    --set replica.persistence.enabled=true \
    --set replica.persistence.size=10Gi \
    --set auth.enabled=true \
    --set "auth.aclUsers.default.password=${PASSWORD}" \
    --set "auth.aclUsers.default.permissions=~* &* +@all"

Note

The replica.replicas value specifies the number of replica nodes in addition to the primary node. For example, a value of 2 deploys one primary node and two replica nodes.
Adjust the replica.persistence.size value based on your expected data volume and retention requirements.

Retrieve the Valkey service port number:

kubectl get svc msr-valkey -o jsonpath={.spec.ports..port}

Upgrade the highly available Valkey#

Verify the Valkey version:

kubectl get pod <Valkey Pod> -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[*].image}'

Upgrade Valkey:

helm upgrade msr-valkey oci://registry.mirantis.com/harbor/helm/mirantis-valkey/valkey \
    --reuse-values \
    --set image.tag=<new tag>
