Spinnaker stores its pipeline cache (execution history) in REDIS used as storage. The default configuration deploys a pod in the Kubernetes cluster. If the pods get restarted, all of the histories get lost. The Redis installed by Spinnaker (either locally, or in Kubernetes) isn’t configured to be production-ready. One of the easiest ways to improve Spinnaker’s reliability at scale is to use an external Redis.
