Redis via Client Service Using a Temporary Pod

Namespace: project-redis-dev Redis Pods: redis-0, redis-1, redis-2 Client Service: redis-client-service Password: mypassword

---

Step 1: Launch Temporary Client Pod

kubectl run redis-client-test --rm -it --image=redis:7-alpine --restart=Never --namespace default -- sh

• --rm deletes pod on exit
• -it interactive shell
• -- sh shell in Alpine image

---

Step 2: Connect via Client Service

Inside pod shell:

redis-cli -h redis-client-service -p 6379 -a mypassword

• Connects through ClusterIP service (load-balanced across pods)

---

Step 3: Test Redis Commands

PING
SET testkey "Hello via client service"
GET testkey

Expected Output:

PONG
OK
"Hello via client service"

• PING connectivity check
• SET write data
• GET read data

testkey is just a sample key; replace as needed.

---

Step 4: Exit

QUIT

Then exit pod shell (Ctrl+D). Pod auto-deletes.

---

Result:

• Redis is reachable via client service
• Read/write operations verified
• No local Redis installation needed
