Quick Example

# Configure once
redisctl profile set prod --api-key $KEY --api-secret $SECRET

# Create subscription and wait
redisctl cloud subscription create \
  --name prod \
  --cloud-provider AWS \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --wait

Architecture

redisctl is built as reusable libraries:

• redisctl-config - Profile and credential management
• redis-cloud - Cloud API client (21 handlers, 95%+ coverage)
• redis-enterprise - Enterprise API client (29 handlers, 100% coverage)
• redisctl - CLI binary (thin orchestration layer)

This enables Terraform providers, backup tools, monitoring dashboards, and more.
