Redis is a in-memory data structure store, which can be used as cache and session backend.
I thought to give it a try for Horizon. Installation is quite simple, either pip install django-redis or dnf --enablerepo=rawhide install python-django-redis.
Then change openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py aka. /etc/openstack-dashboard …
