help Google Cloud Memorystore FAQ
What is the difference between Redis and Memcached in Google Cloud Memorystore?
Google Cloud Memorystore supports both Memcached and Redis, with Redis offering built-in persistence, replication, and high availability. Memcached, on the other hand, is often chosen for simpler, highly distributed, pure caching scenarios where data persistence is not required.
Does Google Cloud Memorystore support Redis Cluster configurations?
Yes, Memorystore for Redis offers a Standard Tier that utilizes Redis replication for high availability and automatic failover. It also supports clustered Redis instances to easily scale memory capacity and throughput beyond a single node.
Can I use Cloud Memorystore outside of the Google Cloud Platform?
While Memorystore is a managed service running within GCP, applications hosted anywhere can connect to it via VPC peering or authorized external networks. However, it is primarily designed to provide ultra-low latency in-memory caching for applications hosted within the Google Cloud ecosystem.
How does Cloud Memorystore integrate with other GCP services?
Memorystore easily connects to Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, and Cloud Run instances via standard internal IP addresses. This seamless VPC integration helps reduce database load by providing scalable caching for microservices.
