Redis 6.2 is EOL since Feb 2025.

When operating a cluster, we can upgrade to at most 7.8 (though only 7.4 is at https://hub.docker.com/_/redis/): https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/upgrading/upgrade-cluster/#supported-upgrade-paths

However, the Docker images are not a cluster, so I think we can upgrade directly to 8.4. For example, 8.0x can read 6.2 databases: https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/upgrading/upgrade-database/

That said, we can still take the precautions here: https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/install/upgrade/standalone/
