KeyDB on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

KeyDB is a multithreaded, Redis-compatible in-memory key-value store — drop-in for Redis clients with higher throughput per node. This image gives you a production-ready deployment within minutes of first boot — no dependency wrangling, no manual hardening checklist. Published and maintained by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc: freshly rebuilt against current security advisories and deployable straight from the Azure Marketplace into your own subscription.

Version: KeyDB 6.3.4Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LTSPorts: 6379 — bound to 127.0.0.1 only and password-protected; no inbound application port is openCategory: Databases

What's included

KeyDB installed from the official upstream source
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base with automatic security updates enabled
No shared or default passwords — a unique admin credential is generated on your VM at first boot
Trusted Launch support: Secure Boot + vTPM
Azure Monitor Agent, Defender for Cloud, and Update Manager install cleanly

Quick start

Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself only — KeyDB listens on localhost until you deliberately rebind it.
SSH in and connect with keydb-cli using the generated password (see First login below).
For application hosts in your VNet, rebind, open 6379 in ufw to their CIDR and in the NSG, and restart.

Get your admin password (one time)

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /root/keydb-admin-credentials.txt

Password-only authentication (requirepass) is set at first boot; rotate it by editing /etc/keydb/keydb.conf and restarting the service.

Common use cases

Cache and session store
Queues and pub/sub
Rate limiting and counters
Drop-in Redis replacement with more throughput

Why our images

Freshly rebuilt against the latest security advisories, no shared default credentials, Trusted Launch support, and automatic OS security updates — everything runs in your own Azure subscription under your governance.
