Data tiering limitations

Data tiering has the following limitations:

  • The node type you use must be from the r6gd family, which is available in the following regions: us-east-2, us-east-1, us-west-2, us-west-1, eu-west-1, eu-west-3, eu-central-1, ap-northeast-1, ap-southeast-1, ap-southeast-2, ap-south-1, ca-central-1 and sa-east-1.

  • You cannot restore a snapshot of an r6gd cluster into another cluster unless it also uses r6gd.

  • You cannot export a snapshot to Amazon S3 for data-tiering clusters.

  • Forkless save is not supported.

  • Scaling is not supported from a data tiering cluster (for example, a cluster using an r6gd node type) to a cluster that does not use data tiering (for example, a cluster using an r6g node type).

  • Data tiering only supports volatile-lru, allkeys-lru and noeviction maxmemory policies.

  • Items larger than 128 MiB are not moved to SSD.
