Instead, use:\n\n- The Redis Software [Cluster Manager UI](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/quickstarts/redis-enterprise-software-quickstart)\n- The [REST API](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/references/rest-api)\n- Command-line utilities, such as [`rladmin`](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/references/cli-utilities/rladmin)"
