Version: Valkey 8.1.1Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LTSPorts: 6379 (Valkey) — binds 0.0.0.0 with protected-mode on (remote clients refused until requirepass is set)Category: Databases

What's included

Valkey 8.1 — drop-in compatible with Redis clients and tools
protected-mode on: refuses non-loopback clients until requirepass is set — you control network exposure
Kernel and memory settings tuned for in-memory workloads
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with automatic security updates
Trusted Launch: Secure Boot + vTPM supported
RDB/AOF persistence configurable per your durability needs

Quick start

SSH into the VM with the username and key you chose at deploy.
Valkey runs as the `valkey-server` systemd service on 6379. It binds 0.0.0.0 with protected-mode on, so non-loopback clients are refused until you set a password; the in-image ufw allows 6379 and the NSG keeps it closed until you open it.
Connect with `valkey-cli`, set a strong `requirepass` in /etc/valkey/valkey.conf (and TLS if crossing networks), `sudo systemctl restart valkey-server`, then open 6379 in the NSG to your app tier only.

Common use cases

Application caching layer
Session and token stores
Pub/sub and lightweight queues
Rate limiting and leaderboards
