Why did you run Redis on K8 in the first place? (One of the reasons we did not move to K8 was the default recommendation to not run Redis, SQL etc on the clusters.)
Our Redis use-case started off as ephemeral per-deployment storage for things like rate-limit counters; before evolving into durable per-deployment storage for things like service-metadata discovery.
Ephemeral Redis is well-suited to k8s — you can treat it as just a sidecar to your app layer deployment. Durable Redis is not. But sometimes the transition can sneak up on you.
