# Configuring Redis for scaling
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** Self-managed
Based on your infrastructure setup and how you have installed GitLab, there are
multiple ways to configure Redis.
You can choose to install and manage Redis and Sentinel yourself, use a hosted
cloud solution, or you can use the ones that come bundled with the Linux
packages so you can only focus on configuration. Pick the one that suits your needs.
## Redis replication and failover using the Linux package
This setup is for when you have installed GitLab using the
[Linux **Enterprise Edition** (EE) package](https://about.gitlab.com/install/?version=ee).
Both Redis and Sentinel are bundled in the package, so you can use it to set up the whole Redis infrastructure (primary,
replica and sentinel).
For more information, see [Redis replication and failover with the Linux package](replication_and_failover.md).
## Redis replication and failover using the non-bundled Redis
This setup is for when you have either a [Linux package](https://about.gitlab.com/install/) installation or a
[self-compiled installation](../../install/installation.md), but you want to use your own external Redis and Sentinel
servers.
For more information, see [Redis replication and failover providing your own instance](replication_and_failover_external.md).
## Standalone Redis using the Linux package
This setup is for when you have installed the
[Linux **Community Edition** (CE) package](https://about.gitlab.com/install/?version=ce)
to use the bundled Redis, so you can use the package with only the Redis service enabled.
For more information, see [Standalone Redis using the Linux package](standalone.md).
