Who is this for?

This is an introductory topic for developers deploying and optimizing Redis-based data searching workloads on Linux/Arm64 environments, specifically using Google Cloud C4A virtual machines powered by Axion processors.

What will you learn?

Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:

  • Provision an Arm-based SUSE SLES virtual machine on Google Cloud (C4A with Axion processors)
  • Install Redis on a SUSE Arm64 (C4A) instance
  • Verify Redis functionality by running the server and performing baseline data insertion and retrieval tests on the Arm64 VM
  • Measure Redis SET (write) and GET (read) performance using the official redis-benchmark tool to evaluate throughput and latency on Arm64 (AArch64)

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:
