Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, and message broker. Unlike Memcached, it supports multiple data types, giving a lot of flexibility to the user. Redis is easy to configure and provides clustering support to store data in multiple servers.

In this course, you will learn about the various commands that you can use to store different types of data structures in Redis. Some of those commands include utility, insertion, and modification commands.

You will also become familiar with different aspects of Redis, such as transactions, security, partitioning, and clustering. In all, this is your go-to guide to Redis.

Complete Guide to Redis

There are two ways to create a Redis cluster, the easy way and the hard way. The easy way is to create a cluster using the **create-cluster** command. The hard way is to configure the Redis servers to create a cluster manually. In this lesson, we will look at the hard way.
> Some of the commands used to create a cluster were introduced in Redis 5. Since the highest version supported in Windows is 3.2, it will not be possible to create a cluster in Windows using the method described in this lesson.




# Creating Redis instances
The first step in creating a cluster is to create multiple Redis instances that will be added to the cluster. We will create six instances. Three will be masters, and three will be slaves.

We have created six folders and installed a Redis instance in each folder using the below commands.

```

$ wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
$ tar xzf redis-stable.tar.gz
$ cd redis-stable
$ make

```
