Resource relationships in Yandex Managed Service for Valkey™
Valkey™ is a high-performance DBMS for storing key-value data that runs in RAM. Yandex Managed Service for Valkey™ allows you to easily create Valkey™ host clusters with a high level of fault tolerance.
The main entity used in Yandex Managed Service for Valkey™ is a database cluster.
Each cluster consists of one or more DB hosts, which are virtual machines with DBMS servers deployed. Cluster hosts may reside in different availability zones and even different availability regions. You can learn more about Yandex Cloud availability zones in Platform overview.
-
A cluster with three or more hosts is natively fault-tolerant because its hosts can step in for one another as the cluster’s primary replica.
-
A cluster of one or two hosts is cheaper, but it does not guarantee fault tolerance.
When creating a cluster, specify:
-
Host class: VM template for deploying the cluster hosts. For a list of available host classes and their specs, see Host classes.
-
Environment: Environment where the cluster will be deployed:
PRODUCTION: For stable versions of your apps.PRESTABLE: For testing purposes. The prestable environment is similar to the production environment and likewise covered by the SLA, but it is the first to get new functionalities, improvements, and bug fixes. In the prestable environment, you can test compatibility of new versions with your application.
Note
The amount of memory allocated to a host also depends on the maxmemory configuration parameter for Valkey™ hosts: the maximum amount of data equals 75% of available memory. For example, for a host class with 8 GB RAM, the maxmemory value will be 6 GB.
A cluster created in a folder can be accessed by all VMs connected to the same cloud network. For more information about networking, see the Virtual Private Cloud documentation.
Alert
The service can automatically access the system and diagnostic information of your databases to build monitoring charts and maintain your cluster health. The service never queries or uses the data you saved to the database.
