This document discusses using Redis in development, test, and production environments with the OpenShift Service Catalog.
It demonstrates using Redis for iterative development with ephemeral instances in development. In testing, it shows production-like configurations with immutable infrastructure, recovery testing, and zero-downtime deployments. For production, it notes the Service Catalog can provide targeted Redis instances and make external services discoverable. It promotes the Open Service Broker API and OpenShift Service Catalog for expanding service options.
