Creates a Redis instance based on the specified tier and memory size.
By default, the instance is accessible from the project's default network.
The creation is executed asynchronously and callers may check the returned operation to track its progress. Once the operation is completed the Redis instance will be fully functional. The completed longrunning.Operation will contain the new instance object in the response field.
The returned operation is automatically deleted after a few hours, so there is no need to call operations.delete.
