Configure Redis

Redis features include:

• Redis can also be used for PHP session storage.

• The backend supports tag-based cache cleanup without foreach loops.

• Redis supports on-disk save and master/slave replication.

Starting in Magento 2.0.6, you can use either Redis or memcached for session storage. Earlier issues with the Redis session handler and session locking have been resolved.
