datasetSizeInGbnumber double

Optional. The maximum amount of data in the dataset for this database in GB. You cannot set both datasetSizeInGb and totalMemoryInGb. If ‘replication’ is 'true', the database’s total memory will be twice as large as the datasetSizeInGb. If ‘replication’ is false, the database’s total memory will be the datasetSizeInGb value.

redisVersionstring

Optional. If specified, redisVersion defines the Redis database version. If omitted, the Redis version will be set to the default version (available in 'GET /subscriptions/redis-versions')

averageItemSizeInBytesinteger

Optional. Relevant only to ram-and-flash (also known as Redis-Flex/Auto-Tiering) subscriptions. Estimated average size in bytes of the items stored in the database. Default: 1000

ramPercentageinteger

Optional. Relevant only to ram-and-flash (also known as Redis-Flex/Auto-Tiering) subscriptions. The percentage of data to be stored in RAM. Must be between 10 and 50 in steps of 10 (10, 20, 30, 40, 50). Default: 20

periodicBackupPathstring

Optional. The path to a backup storage location. If specified, the database will back up every 24 hours to this location, and you can manually back up the database to this location at any time.

sourceIpstring[]

Optional. List of source IP addresses or subnet masks to allow. If specified, Redis clients will be able to connect to this database only from within the specified source IP addresses ranges. Example: '['192.168.10.0/32', '192.168.12.0/24']'
