How to Install and Use the Redis 6.0 Cluster Proxy
This guide explains the new Redis 6.0 cluster proxy feature, its purpose, and provides step‑by‑step instructions for installing, starting, and connecting to the proxy, including required GCC upgrades and example commands for a smooth setup.
Redis 6.0 introduces a cluster proxy that abstracts a Redis cluster as a single endpoint, allowing client multiplexing for simple commands.
Cluster Proxy
In a Redis cluster, clients are often scattered; the proxy consolidates them so they appear to communicate with a single instance.

cd redis-cluster-proxy

yum -y install centos-release-scl
