OCI Redis: Connection Timeout When Using Python Redis Client with Multi-Node Cluster
I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... This might be a silly question, but I'm working on a personal project and I'm currently working with a connection timeout scenario while trying to connect to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Redis cluster using the `redis-py` library in Python. I've set up a 3-node Redis cluster and can connect to it via the CLI without any issues. However, when I try to connect using Python, I encounter the following timeout behavior: ``` redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: behavior 110: Connection timed out ``` Here's the code snippet I'm using to initiate the connection: ```python import redis # Assuming I have the correct cluster endpoint cluster_endpoint = 'my-redis-cluster.example.com:6379' try: r = redis.StrictRedis(host=cluster_endpoint, port=6379, decode_responses=True) r.ping() # This should return True if connected. print('Connected to Redis!') except redis.exceptions.ConnectionError as e: print(f'Connection failed: {e}') ``` I've already checked the following: 1. The security list rules for the VCN allow inbound traffic on port 6379. 2. The Redis cluster is up and running, which I confirmed through the OCI console. 3. I can ping the cluster endpoint from my local machine. I also experimented with both the Redis URL format and using different client configurations (like setting a timeout value) without success: ```python r = redis.StrictRedis(host=cluster_endpoint, port=6379, socket_timeout=5) ``` Has anyone else encountered this scenario when connecting to an OCI Redis cluster using Python, or do you have suggestions for troubleshooting? Any help would be appreciated! I'm working on a API that needs to handle this. Thanks in advance! For reference, this is a production CLI tool. Any pointers in the right direction?
