Introduction to Redis Replication and Redis Sentinels on Windows

This article introduces how to configure Redis Replication for scalability and sentinels for high availability (HA) on Windows. Redis Replication mainly improve the scalability to handle high concurrency for reading.

It includes the following topics.

1. Configure Redis Replication for horizontal scaling for reading requests
2. Configure Redis-Sentinel for high availability

Configure Redis Replication for horizontal scaling (only relieve reading requests)

• On the leader follower (master-slave) mode, the leader keeps the replicas updated asynchronously. So the replication task won’t block the master node.
• Even though the client can only write the data to the master. The reading requests can be distributed to slaves to reduce the total efforts on the single node.

• The target in this part is to create a master node and two slave nodes
