ScaleGrid enables you to deploy and manage Redis™* through your own AWS account. Managing your Redis™ clusters in your own AWS account has several advantages, including:
- You don’t need to expose your Redis™ servers to the internet. You can control access to the Redis™ clusters in your account with AWS security groups.
- Buy reserved instances and save up to 30% on your hosting costs.
- VPC support.
- Full admin access to the underlying machines.
