Scheduled
Effective Aug 3rd, 2026, IONOS Cloud will permanently disable the creation of new In-Memory DB clusters via API v1. This is a preliminary step in our transition to the upgraded In-Memory DB v2 infrastructure (powered by Valkey).
What does this mean for you?
- New Deployments: Any automated scripts, CI/CD pipelines, SDKs, or IaC tools attempting to provision new In-Memory DB clusters using API v1 after Aug 3rd, 2026, will be rejected.
- Existing Clusters: There is no impact on existing In-Memory DB v1 clusters. All running v1 instances will remain fully operational and accessible.
Required Actions for New Clusters
To deploy new In-Memory DB clusters going forward, you must transition your provisioning workflows to the In-Memory DB v2 API:
- v2 API Documentation: https://api.ionos.com/docs/in-memory-db/v2/
- Client Compatibility: In-Memory DB v2 is powered by Valkey and remains fully compatible with standard Redis clients and tools (no application code changes required).
Affected services: Database as a Service (DBaaS)
Location: Global Services
