Question (redis-ha): is valkey support planned for the future?

[Sven1410]

Hi,
since redis changed their licence type we are thinking about a move to the valkey fork. The argocd community is also discussing it, see: argoproj/argo-cd#17970
Currently the valkey image seems to be 100% compatible - the redis-ha chart still works good after replacing the redis image with valkey (tested with 8.0.1). But this can change in the future.
So we see the option to move to a different chart - I found only 2 options so far:
(bitnami - not our preferred option) https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/valkey
(groundhog2k - small and new, but unclear adoption) https://github.com/groundhog2k/helm-charts/tree/master/charts/valkey

So my question is now: Do you think you will support the valkey images in the future? (especially if they will be incompatible)
Or is this totally out of your scope and you will focus on redis only.

Thanks in advance for clarification,
Sven

I don't personally have objection to a native OSS alternative to prevent licensing issues for consumers of the chart.

I haven't tested this with the chart out of the box.

I think with ArgoCD being the biggest downstream consumer of this that (that I'm aware of), I would happily follow their lead as a community.

The biggest test that needs doing is HA and adjustments to facilitate in something like Valkey.
