Overview

TencentDB for Redis® supports standard architecture and cluster architecture. To help you process ever-growing business data, it allows you to upgrade from standard architecture to cluster architecture if the performance and capacity of standard architecture are insufficient.

Upgrade description

For Redis 4.0 or later, a standard architecture instance can be upgraded to a cluster architecture instance on the same version; for example, you can upgrade from Redis 4.0 Standard Architecture to Redis 4.0 Cluster Architecture.
Cross-version architecture upgrade is not supported; for example, you cannot upgrade from Redis 4.0 Standard Architecture to Redis 5.0 Cluster Architecture.
The architecture of Redis 2.8 cannot be upgraded.
Cluster architecture cannot be downgraded to standard architecture.
Cross-AZ architecture upgrade is not supported.
Cluster architecture upgrade is not supported for pay-as-you-go instances.
After standard architecture is upgraded to cluster architecture, fees will be charged based on cluster architecture and thus get increased. For more information, see Pricing.

How upgrade works

Redis standard architecture can be directly upgraded to cluster architecture (single-shard) in three minutes with no data migration required.
In Redis 4.0 or later, if standard architecture is upgraded to cluster architecture, only the runtime mode of the instance will change from having no slot limit to having one, but no data migration will occur.

Upgrade preparations (compatibility check)

To avoid business failures caused by compatibility problems during migration to cluster architecture, check the compatibility before the upgrade:
Cluster architecture stores data in a distributed manner, and its biggest difference from standard architecture lies in whether a single command supports multikey access. For the cluster architecture, commands can be categorized into supported, partially supported, and unsupported. For the complete list of compatible commands, see Overview.
For more information about compatibility check, see Check on Migration from Standard Architecture to Cluster Architecture.

Upgrade impact

Generally, upgrade can be completed in three minutes.
During the upgrade, existing connections will be closed momentarily; therefore, your business should have a reconnection mechanism.
