Save up to 20%-33% on AWS Elasticache Redis clusters by migrating to Valkey!

Earlier this month, AWS introduced ElastiCache Reserved Instance (RI) size flexibility, and as part of the announcement, they launched support for Valkey—a fully open-source alternative to Redis, based on the latest and final open-source release of Redis (7.2).

Valkey is available in both serverless and node-based cluster configurations. Serverless Valkey clusters offer a 33% discount compared to Redis OSS serverless, while node-based Valkey clusters deliver 20% savings over Redis clusters.

To make the migration easier, AWS allows Redis Reserved Instances (RIs) to apply to Valkey workloads at a prorated rate. For example, you’ll need 20% fewer Redis RIs to cover the same nodes running with Valkey, or you can purchase new discounted Valkey RIs.

At Brandorr Group LLC, we help clients optimize their AWS infrastructure, including seamless migrations to Valkey. oin the conversation over on LinkedIn, or connect with me directly on my LinkedIn page ​ and let's discuss! ​
