      Unsure for backports. There are unit tests if you define this in your config file:

      define('TEST_SESSION_REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1');

      Can also look at the testing instructions in MDL-54606 .

    Description

      Redis is a much better technology when it comes to replication, scaling and failover when compared to current built in options.

      In addition, memcache is not PHP7 compatible making it a barrier to upgrade to PHP7 for large sites. Since PHP7 support was added in Moodle 3.0.1 (I think) then I think that 3.0 should be considered for the backport.
