Release notes for minor versions of ApsaraDB for Redis Community Edition - ApsaraDB for Redis

Alibaba Cloud releases new minor versions of ApsaraDB for Redis from time to time to provide more features, fix known issues, and improve user experience. This topic describes the release notes for minor versions of ApsaraDB for Redis Community Edition. We recommend that you update minor versions of instances during off-peak hours.

ApsaraDB for Redis Community Edition instances can run Redis 7.0, 6.0, 5.0, 4.0, or earlier.

View or update the minor version of an instance

You can view the current minor version of an instance in the ApsaraDB for Redis console. For more information about update operations and usage notes, see Update the minor version.

Important

The system automatically detects the minor version of an instance. If the instance is of the latest minor version, the Minor Version Upgrade button does not exist or is dimmed.
Minor version updates may differ from region to region. The minor version of an instance displayed in the ApsaraDB for Redis console prevails.

Update levels

LOW: regular updates. LOW-level updates include routine feature updates, such as adding a feature.
MEDIUM: recommended updates. MEDIUM-level updates include optimization of features and modules. LOW-level updates are also included in MEDIUM-level updates.
HIGH: major updates. HIGH-level updates include major updates that ensure stability or security, such as fixing a vulnerability or defect. LOW-level and MEDIUM-level updates are also included in HIGH-level updates.
