Switch Redis to Valkey #427

Closed Samze closed 5 months ago

Samze commented 5 months ago

Issue

Redis is switching to a dual license in future versions https://redis.io/blog/redis-adopts-dual-source-available-licensing which may cause licensing issues.

CAPI release currently uses 7.2.5 which does not have this license, however this will eventually go out of support. According to https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/product-lifecycle/#endoflife-schedule August 31, 2025.

Resolution

We should switch to Valkey instead which is a Redis drop in replacement that is BSD license and part of the Linux Foundation.

It should be a drop in replacement for Redis and we can continue to use the Redis client gem in the cloud controller codebase.

Happy to contribute this.
