Ensure that you have configured Helm first and applied the appropriate RBAC (see Helm Intro for more).

## Installing

```shell
helm install --name redisha stable/redis-ha
```

What you should get back should be similar to the following:

```shell

NOTES:
Redis can be accessed via port 6379 and Sentinel can be accessed via port 26379 on the following DNS name from within your cluster:
redisha-redis-ha.default.svc.cluster.local

To connect to your Redis server:
1. Run a Redis pod that you can use as a client:

   kubectl exec -it redisha-redis-ha-server-0 sh -n default

2. Connect using the Redis CLI:

  redis-cli -h redisha-redis-ha.default.svc.cluster.local
```

Ensure to delete by using `helm delete <NAME>`.
