Purpose

This folder defines an Acorn service which allows to create a Redis Cloud cluster.

Prerequisites

To use this service you need to have a Redis Cloud account and a secret api key. For convenience, we will keep those values in the following environment variables.

• REDIS_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_KEY
• REDIS_CLOUD_SECRET_KEY

Running the service

First we need to create the secret redis-cloud-creds providing the account key, secret key and subscription id.

Note: the following example uses environment variables already defined in the current shell

acorn secrets create \
  --type opaque \
  --data account_key=$ACCOUNT_KEY \
  --data secret_key=$SECRET_KEY \
  redis-cloud-creds

Next we run the Acorn:

acorn run -n redis .

In a few tens of seconds a new Redis cluster will be up and running.

Running the service directly was just a test to ensure a cluster is actually created from this service.

Then we can delete the application, this will also delete the associated redis cluster:

acorn rm redis --all --force

Status

This service is currently a WIP, feel free to give it a try. Feedback are welcome.
