This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview Valkey is the open source, BSD licensed, high performance in memory key value store stewarded by the Linux Foundation. It is a drop in replacement for the Redis API, including the RESP protocol on port 6379 and the full set of commands and data structures that client libraries expect. This image delivers Valkey fully installed and configured, so a working in memory store is running within minutes of launch. Valkey 8.1.x is built from the upstream Linux Foundation source to provide the current major line rather than the older version available in the OS archive.
What Is Included Valkey 8.1.x, compiled from the upstream source tarball, running as a systemd service. The Valkey command line shell is preconfigured for local administration. An nginx reverse proxy on port 80 serves a small identification page that doubles as a cloud network health endpoint. Valkey itself binds to the loopback address by default, so a customer never exposes the data port to the internet by accident.
Secure First Boot The image ships with no shared password. On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh strong password, sets it as the requirepass on the running Valkey, and writes it to a file that only the root user can read. Authentication is enforced from the moment the daemon is reachable.
Ready To Use The Valkey service, configuration, data directory and authentication are all prepared. Connect over SSH, retrieve the generated password and open valkey-cli to start storing keys, lists, hashes, sorted sets, streams and the other data types the Redis API exposes. Customers replace the bind address in the Valkey config to open the data port to a private network.

Highlights
- Valkey preinstalled and ready, with a Redis API compatible RESP server on port 6379 and the valkey-cli command line shell, with no manual setup required
- Hardened first boot generates a fresh Valkey password for every instance and stores it in a file only the root user can read, so the store is never left open to anonymous clients
- 24/7 technical support from cloudimg, with expert assistance for Valkey deployment, replication, persistence tuning and migration from existing Redis API workloads

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant). Valkey listens for the Redis API on 127.0.0.1 port 6379 on the instance itself. Retrieve the generated password with: sudo cat /root/valkey-credentials.txt. Open the Valkey shell with: valkey-cli -a '<password>' --no-auth-warning. nginx on port 80 serves a small identification page used as a network health endpoint. The user guide explains how to bind Valkey to a private network address, enable AOF persistence, and set a memory cap for cache workloads.
