Summary

The newly released Redis Enterprise 6.0 improves Redis security and operational safety with the addition of access control lists (ACLs) and role-based access control (RBAC), allowing for fine-grained control over user access to Redis deployments. These new capabilities bring major security benefits, making it easier to scale Redis usage within organizations. The release also incorporates many changes from open source Redis 6 and provides support for Redis Streams on Active-Active databases, enabling high-speed, in-memory streaming database functionality. With RBAC, users can create roles with specific permissions, allowing for a complete security-management solution for clusters. This enables scaling of Redis deployments while minimizing overhead involved in managing complex access control configurations.
