Redis 6 introduced native TLS support. This means that you can now use redis-cli to connect to AWS, GCP, Azure Redis instances that require TLS connections using the -tls
flag. Unfortunately TLS is disabled by default and installing Redis via homebrew won't inlcude the TLS features enabled. Below is a quick guide on how to install Redis w/ TLS enabled.
- Install the OpenSSL development library dependencies
$ brew install openssl
- Create relevant symlinks so that the Redis make install script can locate the OpenSSL development libraries
