+Kubernetes provides enterprise orchestration of containers and has been widely adopted. Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes provides a simple way to get a Redis Enterprise cluster on Kubernetes and enables more complex deployment scenarios.

+
+On Kubernetes, Redis Enterprise [Active-Active]({{< relref "/operate/rs/databases/active-active/" >}}) databases provide read and write access to the same dataset from different Kubernetes clusters.
+
+## Active-Active setup methods
+
+There are two methods for creating an Active-Active database with Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes:
+
+- The `RedisEnterpriseActiveActiveDatabase` (REAADB) custom resource is available for versions 6.4.2 and later.
+- The `crdb-cli` method is available for versions 6.4.2 or earlier.
+
+
+We recommend creating new Active-Active databases using the RedisEnterpriseActiveActiveDatabase (REAADB) custom resource. This allows you to manage your Active-Active database with the operator and ensures you have the latest features and functionality.
+
+### Active-Active controller method
+
+Versions 6.4.2-6 or later fully support the Active-Active controller. Some of these features were available as a preview in 6.4.2-4 and 6.4.2-5. Upgrade to 6.4.2-6 for the full set of general availability features and bug fixes.
+
+This setup method includes the following steps:
+
+1. Gather REC credentials and [prepare participating clusters]({{< relref "/operate/kubernetes/7.8.6/active-active/prepare-clusters.md" >}}).
+2. Create [`RedisEnterpriseRemoteCluster` (RERC)]({{< relref "/operate/kubernetes/7.8.6/active-active/create-reaadb#create-rerc" >}}) resources.
+3. Create [`RedisEnterpriseActiveActiveDatabase` (REAADB)]({{< relref "/operate/kubernetes/7.8.6/active-active/create-reaadb#create-reaadb" >}}) resource.
+
+### `crdb-cli` method
+
+For versions 6.4.2 or earlier, this Active-Active setup method includes the following steps:
+
+1. Install and configure an ingress.
+2. Gather configuration details.
+3. Add the `ActiveActive` field to the REC spec.
+4. Create the database with the `crdb-cli` tool.
+
+## Redis Enterprise Active-Active controller for Kubernetes
+
+{{<note>}}These features are supported for general availability in releases 6.4.2-6 and later.{{</note>}}
+
+[Active-Active]({{< relref "/operate/rs/databases/active-active/" >}}) databases give you read-and-write access to Redis Enterprise clusters (REC) in different Kubernetes clusters or namespaces. Active-Active deployments managed by the Redis Enterprise operator require two additional custom resources: Redis Enterprise Active-Active database (REAADB) and Redis Enterprise remote cluster (RERC).
+
+To create an Active-Active Redis Enterprise deployment for Kubernetes with these new features, first [prepare participating clusters]({{< relref "/operate/kubernetes/7.8.6/active-active/prepare-clusters.md" >}}) then [create an Active-Active database]({{< relref "/operate/kubernetes/7.8.6/active-active/create-reaadb.md" >}}).
+
+### Preview versions
+
+If you are using a preview version of these features (operator version 6.4.2-4 or 6.4.2-5), you'll need to enable the Active-Active controller with the following steps. You need to do this only once per cluster. We recommend using the fully supported 6.4.2-6 version.
+
+1. Download the custom resource definitions (CRDs) for the most recent release (6.4.2-4) from [redis-enterprise-k8s-docs Github](https://github.com/RedisLabs/redis-enterprise-k8s-docs/tree/master/crds).
+
+1. Apply the new CRDs for the Redis Enterprise Active-Active database (REAADB) and Redis Enterprise remote cluster (RERC) to install those controllers.
+
+    ```sh
+    kubectl apply -f crds/reaadb_crd.yaml
+    kubectl apply -f crds/rerc_crd.yaml
+    ```
+
+1. Enable the Active-Active and remote cluster controllers on the operator ConfigMap.
+
+    ```sh
+    kubectl patch cm  operator-environment-config --type merge --patch "{\"data\": \
+    {\"ACTIVE_ACTIVE_DATABASE_CONTROLLER_ENABLED\":\"true\", \
+    \"REMOTE_CLUSTER_CONTROLLER_ENABLED\":\"true\"}}"
+
+
+### REAADB custom resource
+
+Redis Enterprise Active-Active database (REAADB) contains a link to the RERC for each participating cluster, and provides configuration and status to the management plane.
+
+For a full list of fields and options, see the [REAADB API reference]({{<relref "/operate/kubernetes/7.8.6/reference/redis_enterprise_active_active_database_api">}}).
+
+### RERC custom resource
+
+Redis Enterprise remote cluster (RERC) custom resource contains configuration details for all the participating clusters.
+
+For a full list of fields and options, see the [RERC API reference]({{<relref "/operate/kubernetes/7.8.6/reference/redis_enterprise_remote_cluster_api">}}).
+
+### Limitations
+
+* Existing Redis databases cannot be migrated to a REAADB. (DOC-3594)
+* Admission is not blocking REAADB with `shardCount` which exceeds license quota. (RED-96301)
+    Workaround: Fix the problems with the REAADB and reapply.
+* The `<rec-name>/<rec-namespace>` value must be unique for each RERC resource. (RED-96302)
+* Only global database options are supported, no support for specifying configuration per location.
+* No support for migration from old (`crdb-cli`) Active-Active database method to new Active-Active controller.
+* No support for REAADB with participating clusters co-located within the same Kubernetes cluster, except for a single designated local participating cluster.
