in production, a dedicated redis container is created. redis_ip can optionally be configured in ansible/group_vars/all and redis_port & redis_interface configured in ansible/etc/globals.yaml
in development, redis is installed on the VM

A couple of comments on this. Otherwise it looks OK. (Running through a build using this now).

Should we be adding a password for the redis server? Or is the data it contains not sufficiently important.

If a password is required, it could be added to the password generation in https://github.com/alces-flight/concertim-ansible-playbook/blob/main/ansible/roles/concertim_common/tasks/main.yaml and to the environment file template at https://github.com/alces-flight/concertim-ansible-playbook/blob/main/ansible/roles/concertim_common/templates/secrets.env.

Sounds sensible to have one, thanks - have added.
