## ⚠️ Important Notice: Upcoming changes to the Bitnami Catalog

Beginning August 28th, 2025, Bitnami will evolve its public catalog to offer a curated set of hardened, security-focused images under the new [Bitnami Secure Images initiative](https://news.broadcom.com/app-dev/broadcom-introduces-bitnami-secure-images-for-production-ready-containerized-applications). As part of this transition:

- Granting community users access for the first time to security-optimized versions of popular container images.
- Bitnami will begin deprecating support for non-hardened, Debian-based software images in its free tier and will gradually remove non-latest tags from the public catalog. As a result, community users will have access to a reduced number of hardened images. These images are published only under the “latest” tag and are intended for development purposes
- Starting August 28th, over two weeks, all existing container images, including older or versioned tags (e.g., 2.50.0, 10.6), will be migrated from the public catalog (docker.io/bitnami) to the “Bitnami Legacy” repository (docker.io/bitnamilegacy), where they will no longer receive updates.
- For production workloads and long-term support, users are encouraged to adopt Bitnami Secure Images, which include hardened containers, smaller attack surfaces, CVE transparency (via VEX/KEV), SBOMs, and enterprise support.

These changes aim to improve the security posture of all Bitnami users by promoting best practices for software supply chain integrity and up-to-date deployments. For more details, visit the [Bitnami Secure Images announcement](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/issues/83267).

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps a [Valkey](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/valkey) deployment on a [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager.

### Choose between Valkey Helm Chart and Valkey Cluster Helm Chart

You can choose any of the two Valkey Helm charts for deploying a Valkey cluster.
While [Valkey Helm Chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/valkey) will deploy a primary-replica cluster using Valkey Sentinel, the [Valkey Cluster Helm Chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/valkey-cluster) will deploy a Valkey Cluster with sharding.
The main features of each chart are the following:

| Valkey                                     | Valkey Cluster                                                   |
|--------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Supports multiple databases                | Supports only one database. Better if you have a big dataset     |
| Single write point (single primary)        | Multiple write points (multiple primary nodes)                   |
| ![Valkey Topology](img/valkey-topology.png)| ![Valkey Cluster Topology](img/valkey-cluster-topology.png)      |

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.23+
- Helm 3.8.0+
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:

```console
helm install my-release oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/valkey-cluster
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

The command deploys Valkey on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

NOTE: if you get a timeout error waiting for the hook to complete increase the default timeout (300s) to a higher one, for example:

```console
helm install --timeout 600s myrelease oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/valkey-cluster
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.
> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`

## Configuration and installation details

### Resource requests and limits

Bitnami charts allow setting resource requests and limits for all containers inside the chart deployment. These are inside the `resources` value (check parameter table). Setting requests is essential for production workloads and these should be adapted to your specific use case.

To make this process easier, the chart contains the `resourcesPreset` values, which automatically sets the `resources` section according to different presets. Check these presets in [the bitnami/common chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/blob/main/bitnami/common/templates/_resources.tpl#L15). However, in production workloads using `resourcesPreset` is discouraged as it may not fully adapt to your specific needs. Find more information on container resource management in the [official Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/).

### Update credentials

The Bitnami Valkey Cluster chart, when upgrading, reuses the secret previously rendered by the chart or the one specified in `existingSecret`. To update credentials, use one of the following:

- Run `helm upgrade` specifying a new password in `password`
- Run `helm upgrade` specifying a new secret in `existingSecret`

### Prometheus metrics

This chart can be integrated with Prometheus by setting `metrics.enabled` to `true`. This will deploy a sidecar container with [redis_exporter](https://github.com/oliver006/redis_exporter) in all pods and a `metrics` service, which can be configured under the `metrics.service` section. This `metrics` service will have the necessary annotations to be automatically scraped by Prometheus.

#### Prometheus requirements

It is necessary to have a working installation of Prometheus or Prometheus Operator for the integration to work. Install the [Bitnami Prometheus helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/prometheus) or the [Bitnami Kube Prometheus helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/kube-prometheus) to easily have a working Prometheus in your cluster.

#### Integration with Prometheus Operator

The chart can deploy `ServiceMonitor` objects for integration with Prometheus Operator installations. To do so, set the value `metrics.serviceMonitor.enabled=true`. Ensure that the Prometheus Operator `CustomResourceDefinitions` are installed in the cluster or it will fail with the following error:

```text
no matches for kind "ServiceMonitor" in version "monitoring.coreos.com/v1"
```

Install the [Bitnami Kube Prometheus helm chart](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/kube-prometheus) for having the necessary CRDs and the Prometheus Operator.

### [Rolling VS Immutable tags](https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/application-catalog/tanzu-application-catalog/services/tac-doc/apps-tutorials-understand-rolling-tags-containers-index.html)

It is strongly recommended to use immutable tags in a production environment. This ensures your deployment does not change automatically if the same tag is updated with a different image.

Bitnami will release a new chart updating its containers if a new version of the main container, significant changes, or critical vulnerabilities exist.

### Use a different Valkey version

To modify the application version used in this chart, specify a different version of the image using the `image.tag` parameter and/or a different repository using the `image.repository` parameter.

### Cluster topology

To successfully set the cluster up, it will need to have at least 3 primary nodes. The total number of nodes is calculated like- `nodes = numOfPrimaryNodes + numOfPrimaryNodes * replicas`. Hence, the defaults `cluster.nodes = 6` and `cluster.replicas = 1` means, 3 primary and 3 replica nodes will be deployed by the chart.

By default the Valkey Cluster is not accessible from outside the Kubernetes cluster, to access the Valkey Cluster from outside you have to set `cluster.externalAccess.enabled=true` at deployment time. It will create in the first installation only 6 LoadBalancer services, one for each Valkey node, once you have the external IPs of each service you will need to perform an upgrade passing those IPs to the `cluster.externalAccess.service.loadbalancerIP` array.

The replicas will be read-only replicas of the primary nodes. By default only one service is exposed (when not using the external access mode). You will connect your client to the exposed service, regardless you need to read or write. When a write operation arrives to a replica it will redirect the client to the proper primary node. For example, using `valkey-cli` you will need to provide the `-c` flag for `valkey-cli` to follow the redirection automatically.

Using the external access mode, you can connect to any of the pods and the replicas will redirect the client in the same way as explained before, but the all the IPs will be public.

In case the primary crashes, one of his replicas will be promoted to primary. The slots stored by the crashed primary will be unavailable until the replica finish the promotion. If a primary and all his replicas crash, the cluster will be down until one of them is up again. To avoid downtime, it is possible to configure the number of Valkey nodes with `cluster.nodes` and the number of replicas that will be assigned to each primary with `cluster.replicas`. For example:

- `cluster.nodes=9` ( 3 primary plus 2 replicas for each primary)
- `cluster.replicas=2`

Providing the values above, the cluster will have 3 primarys and, each primary, will have 2 replicas.

> NOTE: By default `cluster.init` will be set to `true` in order to initialize the Valkey Cluster in the first installation. If for testing purposes you only want to deploy or upgrade the nodes but avoiding the creation of the cluster you can set `cluster.init` to `false`.

#### Adding a new node to the cluster

There is a job that will be executed using a `post-upgrade` hook that will allow you to add a new node. To use it, you should provide some parameters to the upgrade:

- Pass as `password` the password used in the installation time. If you did not provide a password follow the instructions from the NOTES.txt to get the generated password.
- Set the desired number of nodes at `cluster.nodes`.
- Set the number of current nodes at `cluster.update.currentNumberOfNodes`.
- Set to true `cluster.update.addNodes`.

The following will be an example to add one more node:

```console
helm upgrade --timeout 600s <release> --set "password=${VALKEY_PASSWORD},cluster.nodes=7,cluster.update.addNodes=true,cluster.update.currentNumberOfNodes=6" oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/valkey-cluster
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

Where `VALKEY_PASSWORD` is the password obtained with the command that appears after the first installation of the Helm Chart.
The cluster will continue up while restarting pods one by one as the quorum is not lost.

##### External Access

If you are using external access, to add a new node you will need to perform two upgrades. First upgrade the release to add a new Valkey node and to get a LoadBalancerIP service. For example:

```console
helm upgrade <release> --set "password=${VALKEY_PASSWORD},cluster.externalAccess.enabled=true,cluster.externalAccess.service.type=LoadBalancer,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[0]=<loadBalancerip-0>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[1]=<loadbalanacerip-1>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[2]=<loadbalancerip-2>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[3]=<loadbalancerip-3>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[4]=<loadbalancerip-4>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[5]=<loadbalancerip-5>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[6]=,cluster.nodes=7,cluster.init=false oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/valkey-cluster
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.
> Important here to provide the loadBalancerIP parameters for the new nodes empty to not get an index error.

As we want to add a new node, we are setting `cluster.nodes=7` and we leave empty the LoadBalancerIP for the new node, so the cluster will provide the correct one.
`VALKEY_PASSWORD` is the password obtained with the command that appears after the first installation of the Helm Chart.
At this point, you will have a new Valkey Pod that will remain in `crashLoopBackOff` state until we provide the LoadBalancerIP for the new service.
Now, wait until the cluster provides the new LoadBalancerIP for the new service and perform the second upgrade:

```console
helm upgrade <release> --set "password=${VALKEY_PASSWORD},cluster.externalAccess.enabled=true,cluster.externalAccess.service.type=LoadBalancer,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[0]=<loadbalancerip-0>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[1]=<loadbalancerip-1>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[2]=<loadbalancerip-2>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[3]=<loadbalancerip-3>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[4]=<loadbalancerip-4>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[5]=<loadbalancerip-5>,cluster.externalAccess.service.loadBalancerIP[6]=<loadbalancerip-6>,cluster.nodes=7,cluster.init=false,cluster.update.addNodes=true,cluster.update.newExternalIPs[0]=<load-balancerip-6>" oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/valkey-cluster
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

Note we are providing the new IPs at `cluster.update.newExternalIPs`, the flag `cluster.update.addNodes=true` to enable the creation of the Job that adds a new node and now we are setting the LoadBalancerIP of the new service instead of leave it empty.

> NOTE: To avoid the creation of the Job that initializes the Valkey Cluster again, you will need to provide `cluster.init=false`.

#### Scale down the cluster

To scale down the Valkey Cluster, follow these steps:

First perform a normal upgrade setting the `cluster.nodes` value to the desired number of nodes. It should not be less than `6` and the difference between current number of nodes and the desired should be less or equal to `cluster.replicas` to avoid removing primary node an its replicas at the same time. Also it is needed to provide the password using the `password`. For example, having more than 6 nodes, to scale down the cluster to 6 nodes:

```console
helm upgrade --timeout 600s <release> --set "password=${VALKEY_PASSWORD},cluster.nodes=6" .
```

The cluster will continue working during the update as long as the quorum is not lost.

> NOTE: To avoid the creation of the Job that initializes the Valkey Cluster again, you will need to provide `cluster.init=false`.

Once all the nodes are ready, get the list of nodes in the cluster using the `CLUSTER NODES` command. You will see references to the ones that were removed. Write down the node IDs of the nodes that show `fail`. In the following example the cluster scaled down from 7 to 6 nodes.

```console
valkey-cli -a $VALKEY_PASSWORD CLUSTER NODES

...
b23bcffa1fd64368d445c1d9bd9aeb92641105f7 10.0.0.70:6379@16379 slave,fail - 1645633139060 0 0 connected
...
```

In each cluster node, execute the following command. Replace the NODE_ID placeholder.

```console
valkey-cli -a $VALKEY_PASSWORD CLUSTER FORGET NODE_ID
```

In the previous example the commands would look like this in each cluster node:

```console
valkey-cli -a $VALKEY_PASSWORD CLUSTER FORGET b23bcffa1fd64368d445c1d9bd9aeb92641105f7
```

### Using password file

To use a password file for Valkey you need to create a secret containing the password.

> *NOTE*: It is important that the file with the password must be called `valkey-password`

And then deploy the Helm Chart using the secret name as parameter:

```text
usePassword=true
usePasswordFile=true
existingSecret=valkey-password-secret
metrics.enabled=true
```

### Securing traffic using TLS

TLS support can be enabled in the chart by specifying the `tls.` parameters while creating a release. The following parameters should be configured to properly enable the TLS support in the cluster:

- `tls.enabled`: Enable TLS support. Defaults to `false`
- `tls.existingSecret`: Name of the secret that contains the certificates. No defaults.
- `tls.certFilename`: Certificate filename. No defaults.
- `tls.certKeyFilename`: Certificate key filename. No defaults.
- `tls.certCAFilename`: CA Certificate filename. No defaults.

For example:

First, create the secret with the certificates files:

```console
kubectl create secret generic certificates-tls-secret --from-file=./cert.pem --from-file=./cert.key --from-file=./ca.pem
```

Then, use the following parameters:

```console
tls.enabled="true"
tls.existingSecret="certificates-tls-secret"
tls.certFilename="cert.pem"
tls.certKeyFilename="cert.key"
tls.certCAFilename="ca.pem"
```

### Sidecars and Init Containers

If you have a need for additional containers to run within the same pod as Valkey (e.g. an additional metrics or logging exporter), you can do so via the `sidecars` config parameter. Simply define your container according to the Kubernetes container spec.

```yaml
sidecars:
  - name: your-image-name
    image: your-image
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    ports:
      - name: portname
       containerPort: 1234
```

Similarly, you can add extra init containers using the `initContainers` parameter.

```yaml
initContainers:
  - name: your-image-name
    image: your-image
    imagePullPolicy: Always
    ports:
      - name: portname
        containerPort: 1234
```

### Adding extra environment variables

In case you want to add extra environment variables (useful for advanced operations like custom init scripts), you can use the `extraEnvVars` property.

```yaml
extraEnvVars:
  - name: VALKEY_WHATEVER
    value: value
```

Alternatively, you can use a ConfigMap or a Secret with the environment variables. To do so, use the `extraEnvVarsCM` or the `extraEnvVarsSecret` values.

### Metrics

The chart optionally can start a metrics exporter for [prometheus](https://prometheus.io). The metrics endpoint (port 9121) is exposed in the service. Metrics can be scraped from within the cluster using something similar as the described in the [example Prometheus scrape configuration](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/documentation/examples/prometheus-kubernetes.yml). If metrics are to be scraped from outside the cluster, the Kubernetes API proxy can be utilized to access the endpoint.

### Host Kernel Settings

Valkey may require some changes in the kernel of the host machine to work as expected, in particular increasing the `somaxconn` value and disabling transparent huge pages.
To do so, you can set up a privileged initContainer with the `sysctlImage` config values, for example:

```yaml
sysctlImage:
  enabled: true
  mountHostSys: true
  command:
    - /bin/sh
    - -c
    - |-
      sysctl -w net.core.somaxconn=10000
      echo never > /host-sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
```

Alternatively, for Kubernetes 1.12+ you can set `podSecurityContext.sysctls` which will configure sysctls for primary and replica pods. Example:

```yaml
podSecurityContext:
  sysctls:
  - name: net.core.somaxconn
    value: "10000"
```

Note that this will not disable transparent huge tables.

### Helm Upgrade

By default `cluster.init` will be set to `true` in order to initialize the Valkey Cluster in the first installation. If for testing purposes you only want to deploy or upgrade the nodes but avoiding the creation of the cluster you can set `cluster.init` to `false`.

### Backup and restore

To back up and restore Valkey Cluster Helm chart deployments on Kubernetes, you need to back up the persistent volumes from the source deployment and attach them to a new deployment using [Velero](https://velero.io/), a Kubernetes backup/restore tool.

These are the steps you will usually follow to back up and restore your Valkey Cluster database cluster data:

- Install Velero on the source and destination clusters.
- Use Velero to back up the PersistentVolumes (PVs) used by the deployment on the source cluster.
- Use Velero to restore the backed-up PVs on the destination cluster.
- Create a new deployment on the destination cluster with the same chart, deployment name, credentials and other parameters as the original. This new deployment will use the restored PVs and hence the original data.

### NetworkPolicy

To enable network policy for Valkey, install
[a networking plugin that implements the Kubernetes NetworkPolicy spec](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/declare-network-policy#before-you-begin),
and set `networkPolicy.enabled` to `true`.

For Kubernetes v1.5 & v1.6, you must also turn on NetworkPolicy by setting
the DefaultDeny namespace annotation. Note: this will enforce policy for *all* pods in the namespace:

```console
kubectl annotate namespace default "net.beta.kubernetes.io/network-policy={\"ingress\":{\"isolation\":\"DefaultDeny\"}}"
```

With NetworkPolicy enabled, only pods with the generated client label will be
able to connect to Valkey. This label will be displayed in the output
after a successful install.

With `networkPolicy.ingressNSMatchLabels` pods from other namespaces can connect to valkey. Set `networkPolicy.ingressNSPodMatchLabels` to match pod labels in matched namespace. For example, for a namespace labeled `valkey=external` and pods in that namespace labeled `valkey-client=true` the fields should be set:

```yaml
networkPolicy:
  enabled: true
  ingressNSMatchLabels:
    valkey: external
  ingressNSPodMatchLabels:
    valkey-client: true
```

#### Setting Pod's affinity

This chart allows you to set your custom affinity using the `XXX.affinity` paremeter(s). Find more information about Pod's affinity in the [kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity).

As an alternative, you can use of the preset configurations for pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and node affinity available at the [bitnami/common](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/common#affinities) chart. To do so, set the `XXX.podAffinityPreset`, `XXX.podAntiAffinityPreset`, or `XXX.nodeAffinityPreset` parameters.

## Persistence

By default, the chart mounts a [Persistent Volume](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/) at the `/bitnami` path. The volume is created using dynamic volume provisioning.

If persistence is disabled, an emptyDir volume is used. **This is only recommended for testing environments** because the required information included in the nodes.conf file is missing. This file contains the relationship between the nodes and the cluster. For example, if any node is down or faulty, when it starts again, it is a self-proclaimed primary and also acts as an independent node outside the main cluster as it doesn't have the necessary information to connect to it.

To reconnect the failed node, run the following:

See nodes.sh

```console
$ cat /bitnami/valkey/data/nodes.sh
declare -A host_2_ip_array=([valkey-node-0]="192.168.192.6" [valkey-node-1]="192.168.192.2" [valkey-node-2]="192.168.192.4" [valkey-node-3]="192.168.192.5" [valkey-node-4]="192.168.192.3" [valkey-node-5]="192.168.192.7" )
```

Run valkey-cli and run CLUSTER MEET to any other node in the cluster. Now the node has connected to the main cluster.

```console
$ REDISCLI_AUTH=bitnami valkey-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> cluster meet 192.168.192.7 6379
OK
```

Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. For example,

```console
helm install my-release \
  --set password=secretpassword \
    oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/valkey-cluster
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.

The above command sets the Valkey server password to `secretpassword`.

> NOTE: Once this chart is deployed, it is not possible to change the application's access credentials, such as usernames or passwords, using Helm. To change these application credentials after deployment, delete any persistent volumes (PVs) used by the chart and re-deploy it, or use the application's built-in administrative tools if available.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

```console
helm install my-release -f values.yaml oci://REGISTRY_NAME/REPOSITORY_NAME/valkey-cluster
```

> Note: You need to substitute the placeholders `REGISTRY_NAME` and `REPOSITORY_NAME` with a reference to your Helm chart registry and repository. For example, in the case of Bitnami, you need to use `REGISTRY_NAME=registry-1.docker.io` and `REPOSITORY_NAME=bitnamicharts`.
> **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/valkey-cluster/values.yaml)
> **Note for minikube users**: Current versions of minikube (v0.24.1 at the time of writing) provision `hostPath` persistent volumes that are only writable by root. Using chart defaults cause pod failure for the Valkey pod as it attempts to write to the `/bitnami` directory. See minikube issue [1990](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/1990) for more information.

## Upgrading

### To 2.1.0

This version introduces image verification for security purposes. To disable it, set `global.security.allowInsecureImages` to `true`. More details at [GitHub issue](https://github.com/bitnami/charts/issues/30850).

### To 2.0.0

This major updates all the references from `master/slave` to `primary/replica` to follow the upstream project strategy:

- The term *master* has been replaced by the term *primary*. Therefore, parameters prefixed with `master` are now prefixed with `primary`.
- Environment variables previously prefixed as `VALKEY_MASTER` or `VALKEY_SENTINEL_MASTER` use `VALKEY_PRIMARY` and `VALKEY_SENTINEL_PRIMARY` now.

Consequences:

Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed. To upgrade to `2.0.0`, install a new release of the Valkey chart, and migrate the data from your previous release. You have to create a backup of the database, and restore it on the new release as explained in the [Backup and restore](#backup-and-restore) section.
