Render CLI Key Value commands show and set persistence mode

Introduced 2026-07-21 · score 0.96

HOW TO USE IT

When creating or updating a Key Value instance, pass `--persistence-mode` to set its mode; use `kv get` to inspect the instance details, including persistence mode. [CLI reference](https://render.com/docs/cli-reference)

WHY THIS HELPS

Create or update a Key Value instance and inspect or set its persistence mode.

BEFORE THIS CHANGE

Journal + Snapshot was the behavior of all paid Key Value instances before the persistence-mode feature.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

• Version: v2.22.0
• --name: Instance name; generated if omitted.
• --region: Instance region: frankfurt, ohio, oregon, singapore, or virginia.
• --plan: Instance plan: free, 256mb, 1g, 5g, 10g, 20g, or 40g; custom enterprise plan names are accepted.
• --persistence-mode: Set disk persistence to journal_snapshot, snapshot, or off. For create, omit to use the plan default. The docs do not state these values are mutually exclusive, but the option accepts one mode.
• <keyValueID|keyValueName> (required): Target Key Value ID or name for update/get. Name lookup uses the active workspace; use an ID or disambiguate duplicate names with --environment.
• Prerequisite: Use Render CLI v2.22.0 or later for the release-note change. Authenticate with `render login` or an API key; the CLI docs describe API-key authentication for automation.
• Prerequisite: Data persistence is unavailable for free Key Value instances.
