New Plan Brings Increased Simplicity and Flexibility to Redis Enterprise Cloud in AWS

AWS customers can now procure Redis Enterprise Cloud in AWS with a simplified consolidated bill, spend that counts toward EDP consumption, and flexible on-demand pricing. 

To make this possible, we’re delighted to share the next step in Redis’ partnership with AWS: general availability of Redis Enterprise Cloud – Flexible plan in AWS Marketplace.

This demonstrates the level of commitment between Redis and AWS to provide joint customers with a modernized purchasing experience and flexible pricing options when building and running high-performance applications. No commitment, no upfront cost—simply subscribe/unsubscribe as needed.

Redis Enterprise Cloud is available across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud and provides industry-leading functionality like unparalleled cost-effectiveness with Redis on Flash, high-performance modern data models with Redis modules, and built-in high availability and low latency with Active-Active Geo-Distribution—all fully managed in your cloud of choice.

Redis Enterprise on AWS Marketplace

Redis Enterprise Cloud’s Flexible plan can now be purchased through the AWS Marketplace. This empowers you to provision according to changing business needs, with no budget commitment, and pay monthly through your AWS account. You also have the freedom and flexibility to change your provisioning at any time.

With this new procurement method you will benefit from unified billing—which means you’ll get a single bill from AWS, including Redis Enterprise Cloud, along with your existing AWS usage. In addition, you can use your financial commitments in the form of an Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) with AWS towards consuming Redis Enterprise Cloud resources.

Beyond the ease of purchasing, joint customers can leverage the many benefits of Redis Enterprise without the operational hassle of installing and managing it.

Why this is important 

Redis has seen tremendous adoption throughout the years. But in order to really get the most out of Redis, you need the benefit of a fully managed Redis Enterprise service in the cloud. This frees you from operational complexities with a suite of fully managed Redis services so you don’t need to hire your own team.  

Designed for modern distributed applications, Redis Enterprise Cloud already has a large customer footprint on AWS, has been recognized as an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, and achieved the AWS Outposts Ready designation. The expansion of our partnership with AWS enables current and future customers to quickly, easily, and cost-effectively procure Redis Enterprise Cloud. 

How to get started 

Step 1: Search for Redis Enterprise Cloud

First, go to the AWS Marketplace and search for Redis Enterprise Cloud – Flexible plan as shown in Figure 1.

Select Flexible plan, which will allow you to provision according to your business needs, without any budget commitment.

Step 2: Subscribe to Redis Enterprise Cloud

Click Subscribe to confirm your subscription through AWS Marketplace.

Step 3: Redirect to Redis Enterprise Cloud

Click Set Up Your Account to redirect to Redis Enterprise Cloud and register a new account or log in to an existing account.

Step 4: Register or log in to Redis Enterprise Cloud

Register a new Redis account or log in to an existing one.

Step 5: Map Redis account and AWS Marketplace

After registering/logging in, there’s one final step before creating your databases: mapping between your AWS Marketplace account and your Redis account. If you have multiple accounts, choose one from the list.

Step 6: Create a Flexible Subscription on Redis Enterprise Cloud

Create a new subscription in your account. The AWS Marketplace logo in the top left corner will confirm the mapping has been successfully created.

Step 7: Use AWS Marketplace as a payment method

Choose Flexible Subscription and follow the subscription creation wizard. You specify your database memory limit (and if your database requires high availability, make sure your memory limit takes into account the size of your replica), the expected throughput (in ops/sec), and the number of databases of this type.

At the final stage, AWS Marketplace will be automatically chosen as the payment method for the subscription.
