+# Redis
+
+This examples demonstrates how to use [`Redis`](https://redis.io), an open-source in-memory storage, used as a distributed, in-memory key–value database, cache and message broker, with optional durability.
+
+## Set Up
+
+To run this example, [install Unikraft's companion command-line toolchain `kraft`](https://unikraft.org/docs/cli), clone this repository and `cd` into this directory.
+
+## Run and Use
+
+Use `kraft` to run the image and start a Unikraft instance:
+
+```bash
+kraft run -p 6379:6379 --plat qemu --arch x86_64 -M 512M .
+```
+
+If the `--plat` argument is left out, it defaults to `qemu`.
+If the `--arch` argument is left out, it defaults to your system's CPU architecture.
+
+Then use `redis-cli` or `redis-benchmark` to test the connection:
+
+```console
+redis-benchmark -t ping,set,get -n 10000 -h localhost
+```
+
+## Inspect and Close
+
+To list information about the Unikraft instance, use:
+
+```bash
+kraft ps
+```
+
+```text
+NAME                 KERNEL                          ARGS                      CREATED         STATUS   MEM   PLAT
+admiring_ndakasi     oci://unikraft.org/base:latest  /etc/redis/redis.conf     1 minute ago    running  64MiB  0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp  qemu/x86_64
+```
+
+The instance name is `nostalgic_snowflake`.
+To close the Unikraft instance, close the `kraft` process (e.g., via `Ctrl+c`) or run:
+
+```bash
+kraft rm nostalgic_snowflake
+```
+
+Note that depending on how you modify this example your instance **may** need more memory to run.
+To do so, use the `kraft run`'s `-M` flag, for example:
+
+```bash
+kraft run -p 6379:6379 --plat qemu --arch x86_64 -M 1024M .
+```
+
+## `kraft` and `sudo`
+
+Mixing invocations of `kraft` and `sudo` can lead to unexpected behavior.
+Read more about how to start `kraft` without `sudo` at [https://unikraft.org/sudoless](https://unikraft.org/sudoless).
