  "content": "\nYou can run self-managed Redis Enterprise Software in an on-premises data center or on your preferred cloud platform. \n\nIf you prefer a fully managed Redis database-as-a-service, available on major public cloud services, consider setting up a [Redis Cloud](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc) subscription. You can [try Redis Cloud](https://redis.io/try-free/) for free.\n\n## Quickstarts\n\nIf you want to try out Redis Enterprise Software, see the following quickstarts:\n\n- [Redis Enterprise Software quickstart](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/quickstarts/redis-enterprise-software-quickstart)\n\n- [Docker quickstart for Redis Enterprise Software](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/quickstarts/docker-quickstart)\n\n## Install Redis Enterprise Software\n\nTo install Redis Enterprise Software on a [supported platform](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment/supported-platforms), you need to:\n\n1. [Plan your deployment](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment).\n\n1. [Prepare to install](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/prepare-install).\n\n1. [Perform the install](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install).\n\nDepending on your needs, you may also want to [customize the installation](#more-info-and-options).\n\n## Upgrade existing deployment\n\nIf you already installed Redis Enterprise Software, you can:\n\n- [Upgrade a cluster](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/upgrading/upgrade-cluster)\n\n- [Upgrade a database](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/upgrading/upgrade-database)\n\n- [Upgrade an Active-Active database](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/upgrading/upgrade-active-active)\n\n## Uninstall Redis Enterprise Software\n\n- [Uninstall existing deployment](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/uninstalling)\n\n## More info and options\n\nMore information is available to help with customization and related questions:\n\n- [CentOS/RHEL firewall configuration](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/configuring/centos-rhel-firewall)\n- [Change socket file location](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/configuring/change-location-socket-files)\n- [Cluster DNS configuration](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/networking/cluster-dns)\n- [Cluster load balancer setup](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/networking/cluster-lba-setup)\n- [File locations](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment/file-locations)\n- [Linux swap space configuration](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/configuring/linux-swap)\n- [mDNS client prerequisites](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/networking/mdns)\n- [User and group ownership](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/customize-user-and-group)\n\n## Next steps\n\nAfter you install Redis Enterprise Software and set up your cluster, you can:\n\n- [Add users](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/security/access-control/create-users) to the cluster with specific permissions.  To begin, start with [Access control](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/security/access-control).\n\n- [Create databases](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/databases/create) to use with your applications.\n\n",
