### Modules in Redis 8
72
+
73
+
In Redis Enterprise databases created with or upgraded to Redis version 8 or later, bundled modules are enabled automatically, so you don't need to specify them in the `spec.moduleList` field. However, if you want to use a specific version of a bundled module, you can specify it in the `spec.moduleList` field.
74
+
75
+
The bundled capabilities (modules) are automatically enabled as follows:
76
+
77
+
| Database type | Automatically enabled capabilities |
|[Active-Active]({{<relref "/operate/rs/databases/active-active">}}) |[Search and query]({{<relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/search/search-active-active">}})<br />[JSON]({{<relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/json">}}) |
82
+
83
+
For more information, see [Automatically enabled capabilities in Redis 8]({{< relref "/operate/rs/release-notes/rs-8-0-releases/rs-8-0-2-17/#automatically-enabled-capabilities-in-redis-8" >}}).

+
