Configure Memorystore for Redis in Application Design Center

Memorystore for Redis is a fully managed Redis service for Google Cloud. Applications running on Google Cloud can achieve extreme performance by leveraging the highly scalable, available, secure Redis service without the burden of managing complex Redis deployments. For more information, see Memorystore for Redis overview.

This document describes the connection and parameters you can configure when using App Design Center to create a Memorystore for Redis instance. The configuration parameters are based on the terraform-google-memorystore Terraform module.
