Redis Cloud AWS Connectivity

1 post · Jun 2026

What this trail covers

This post details the comparison between AWS PrivateLink and VPC peering for connecting to Redis Cloud. PrivateLink is recommended as the default for most deployments due to its enhanced security isolation, operational simplicity across accounts and CIDR ranges, and scoped connectivity. VPC peering is suggested for extremely latency-sensitive workloads where minimal network overhead is critical and network isolation is not a primary concern. Benchmarks indicate a small, measurable latency increase for PrivateLink.

  1. Connecting to Redis Cloud with AWS PrivateLink vs. VPC peering | RedisThis post provides a detailed comparison of AWS PrivateLink and VPC peering for Redis Cloud connectivity, including performance benchmarks (latency and throughput) for different workloads and topologies. It offers a clear recommendation for PrivateLink as the default due to security and operational benefits, while outlining specific scenarios where VPC peering is still preferred for extreme latency requirements.
