I've successfully set up a password-protected redis cluster using the guide here:
http://kubernetes.io/v1.1/examples/redis/
I can connect to the sentinel just fine using redis-cli, but I cannot connect to the redis master/slave even though I have exposed the sentinels.
I'm using ruby and the following connection string.. Am I doing this wrong?
SENTINELS = [{host: "104.122.24.897", port: 26379}]
redis = Redis.new(url: "redis://mymaster", sentinels: SENTINELS, :role => :master, password: "longasspassword", timeout: 16)The error I get is:
Error connecting to Redis on 10.64.7.33:6379 (Redis::TimeoutError) (Redis::CannotConnectError)`I eventually settled on using helm (https://helm.sh/) and installed redis-cluster using helm install redis-cluster.
I can connect to the redis cluster using the cluster_ip (not external ip) in kubernetes and this satisfies my security requirement. redis sentinel works out of the box with this approach.
