I have a redis-service running a redis server. Should I be able to store and retrieve data to that service from multiple clients on different services? I have been unsuccessful in my experiments thus far.

I have a compute-service in its own pod that dials the redis-service and stores a key/value

rClient := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
    Addr:     "redis-service:6379",
    Password: "", // no password set
    DB:       0,  // use default DB
})

rClient.Set("trump", "value", 0).Err()

I then have a web-service in its own pod that tries to read this value. Error returns Nil and the value is blank.

rClient := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
    Addr:     "redis-service:6379",
    Password: "", // no password set
    DB:       0,  // use default DB
})

val, err := rClient.Get("trump").Result()

fmt.Fprintf(w, "Print Error: %v \n", err) //prints nil

fmt.Fprintf(w, "Print Value: %s \n", val) // blank

If I set the value in the web-service then I can read the value fine. I just cant seem to set the value in a different service. As far as I know Redis stores data on the server side which would be redis-service.

Here is my redis-service deployment/service yaml files. Maybe it is the configuration?
