Change the endpoint or port number of an ApsaraDB for Redis instance
Last Updated: Aug 08, 2022
ApsaraDB for Redis allows you to change the endpoints or port numbers of ApsaraDB
for Redis instances. You can change the port number of an instance to improve security.
You can also change the endpoint of a new instance to the endpoint of the original
instance without the need to reconfigure your application.
Prerequisites
The instance that you want to manage is in the Running state.
Impacts
After you change the endpoint or port number of an instance, you must update the connection
information on your client. This way, the client can connect to the instance by using
the new endpoint or port number.
Procedure
Log on to the ApsaraDB for Redis console and go to the Instances page. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which the instance is deployed.
Then, find the instance and click its ID.
In the Connection Information section, find the connection type that you want to manage and click Modify Public Endpoint in the Actions column.
In the panel that appears, enter a new endpoint and port number.
