+# Redis and Actions
+
+Actions can use Redis in two ways:
+
+1. For state persistence and restoration
+2. For enabling pub-sub async style message delivery
+
+## Creating a Redis Store
+
+Actions can use any Redis instance - containerized, running on your local dev machine, or a managed cloud service. If you already have a Redis store, move on to the [Configuration](#configuration) section.
+
+### Creating an Azure Managed Redis Cache
+
+**Note**: this approach requires having an Azure Subscription.
+
+1. Open [this link](https://ms.portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Cache) to start the Azure Redis Cache creation flow. Log in if necessary.
+2. Fill out necessary information and **check the "Unblock port 6379" box**, which will allow us to persist state without SSL.
+3. Click "Create" to kickoff deployment of your Redis instance.
+4. Once your instance is created, you'll need to grab your access key. Navigate to "Access Keys" under "Settings" and copy your key.
+5. Finally, we need to add our key and our host to a `redis.yaml` file that Actions can apply to our cluster. If you're running a sample, you'll add the host and key to the provided `redis.yaml`. If you're creating a project from the ground up, you'll create a `redis.yaml` file as specified in [Configuration](#configuration). Set the `redisHost` key to `actions-redis.redis.cache.windows.net:6379` and the `redisPassword` key to the key you copied in step 4.
+
+### Creating a Redis Cache in your Kubernetes Cluster using Helm
+
+We can use [Helm](https://helm.sh/) to quickly create a Redis instance in our Kubernetes cluster. This approach requires [Installing Helm](https://github.com/helm/helm#install).
+
+1. Install Redis into your cluster: `helm install stable/redis --name redis --set image.tag=5.0.5-debian-9-r104`. Note that we're explicitly setting an image tag to get a version greater than 5, which is what Actions' pub-sub functionality requires. If you're intending on using Redis as just a state store (and not for pub-sub), you do not have to set the image version.
+2. Run `kubectl get pods` to see the Redis containers now running in your cluster.
+3. Run `kubectl get svc` and copy the cluster IP of your `redis-master`. Add this IP as the `redisHost` in your redis.yaml file, followed by ":6379". For example:
+    ```yaml
+        redisHost: "10.0.125.130:6379"
+    ```
+4. Next, we'll get our Redis password, which is slightly different depending on the OS we're using:
+    - **Windows**: Run `kubectl get secret --namespace default redis -o jsonpath="{.data.redis-password}" > encoded.b64`, which will create a file with your encoded password. Next, run `certutil -decode encoded.b64 password.txt`, which will put your redis password in a text file called `password.txt`. Copy the password and delete the two files.
+
+    - **Linux/MacOS**: Run `kubectl get secret --namespace default redis -o jsonpath="{.data.redis-password}" | base64 --decode` and copy the outputted password.
+
+    Add this password as the `redisPassword` value in your redis.yaml file. For example:
+    ```yaml
+        redisPassword: "lhDOkwTlp0"
+    ```
+

+
+## Configuration
+
+Actions can use Redis as a `statestore` component (for state persistence and retrieval) or as a `messagebus` component (for pub-sub).
+
+### Configuring Redis for State Persistence and Retrieval
+
+Create a file called redis.yaml, and paste the following:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: actions.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Component
+metadata:
+  name: statestore
+spec:
+  type: state.redis
+  connectionInfo:
+    redisHost: "YOUR_REDIS_HOST_HERE"
+    redisPassword: "YOUR_REDIS_KEY_HERE"
+```
+
+### Configuring Redis for Pub/Sub
+
+Create a file called redis.yaml, and paste the following:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: actions.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Component
+metadata:
+  name: messagebus
+spec:
+  type: pubsub.redis
+  connectionInfo:
+    redisHost: "YOUR_REDIS_HOST_HERE"
+    redisPassword: "YOUR_REDIS_PASSWORD_HERE"
+```
+
+## Apply the configuration
+
+### Kubernetes
+
+```
+kubectl apply -f redis.yaml
+```
+
+### Standalone
+
+By default the Actions CLI creates a local Redis instance when you run `actions init`. However, if you want to configure a different Redis instance, create a directory named `eventsources` in the root path of your Action binary and then copy your `redis.yaml` into that directory.
