Beginning with redis

class { 'redis': }

redis::instance { '6666':
}

using redis::instance you can create as many instances as needed on a sigle host:

redis::instance { '6666':
}

redis::instance { '6667':
}

redis::instance { 'instance_A':
  port => '6666',
}

redis::instance { 'instance_B':
  port => '6667',
}
