You can access a DCS Redis instance through any client that is compatible with the Redis protocol. You can choose a suitable Redis client based on your application needs. For the clients supported by Redis, see official Redis website. For the access methods of each client, see Access through Clients.
Before using a DCS Redis instance, please note the following restrictions:
1. The ECS where the Redis client is installed must be in the same VPC as the Redis instance to be accessed, and the ECS and the instance need to be configured with the same security group. If you use different security groups, you need to configure the security group connectivity rules properly to ensure that the network connection between the ECS and the Redis instance is stable. Currently, cross-VPC access between the ECS and the Redis instances is not supported.
2. When you are accessing a Redis instance over the Internet, the Redis DCS instance needs to be configured with the correct security group rules to allow public access to the instance port. For specific configurations, see FAQ – Redis Usage – How to Configure a Security Group.
