+description: Installation on Kubernetes with a Helm chart. Improvements for installation on VMs.

+toc: 'true'
+weight: 986
+---
+
+> This maintenance release replaces the 1.6.5 release.
+
+RDI’s mission is to help Redis customers sync Redis Enterprise with live data from their slow disk-based databases to:
+
+- Meet the required speed and scale of read queries and provide an excellent and predictable user experience.
+- Save resources and time when building pipelines and coding data transformations.
+- Reduce the total cost of ownership by saving money on expensive database read replicas.
+
+RDI keeps the Redis cache up to date with changes in the primary database, using a [_Change Data Capture (CDC)_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_data_capture) mechanism.
+It also lets you _transform_ the data from relational tables into convenient and fast data structures that match your app's requirements. You specify the transformations using a configuration system, so no coding is required.
+
+## Headlines
+
+- Reintroduced the `/strategies` endpoint to provide a list of databases, ensuring compatibility with RedisInsight.
+- Added a new Helm script to facilitate  the creation of the source SSL secrets. See
+  [Deploy a pipeline]({{< relref "/integrate/redis-data-integration/data-pipelines/deploy" >}})
+  for more information.
+- Enhanced the RDI API `/login` endpoint to accept both **user** and **username** parameters.
+- Updated the behavior of the `/schemas` endpoint to return a list of databases for MySQL and MariaDB, replacing the previous behavior of returning an empty list of schemas.
+
+## Limitations
+
+RDI can write data to a Redis Active-Active database. However, it doesn't support writing data to two or more Active-Active replicas. Writing data from RDI to several Active-Active replicas could easily harm data integrity as RDI is not synchronous with the source database commits.
