Difference between Redis Replication and Redis Sentinel

I am trying to understand if the Redis replication (described here) relates to the Redis Sentinel (described here) or are totally different approaches to data replication.

You use them both together. If you have a master and a couple of slaves, replication makes sure that data between all three remains consistent, but sentinel will handle promoting a slave to a master if the master dies, redirecting new requests to the new master, and notifying someone about what has happened.
