Step-by-Step Instruction for creating Managed Cache Namespace Using Windows Azure PowerShell CmdLets
Currently the ability to create Azure Managed Cache Service Namespace from Portal is disabled, however end users can still create the Managed Cache namespace using the latest PowerShell CmdLet. So in this blog I will provide the step-by-step instruction on creating Managed Cache Service Namespace by leveraging latest version PowerShell CmdLet.
1. Please download the latest version of the Azure PowerShell Module from here
2. Create a PowerShell Script file (*.ps1) with below CmdLet to add and List the new managed cache namespace (Please refer the attached CreateManageCache.ps1)
Add-AzureAccount
New-AzureManagedCache -Name <cachenamespace> -Location "Location" -Sku Basic -Memory 128MB
Get-AzureManagedCache
3. Open the PowerShell Script, which is created in Step 2, in the PowerShell Script editor ‘Windows PowerShell ISE’ , which is located under ‘%windir%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell_ISE.exe’
4. Please note that, it will take couple of minutes to complete above script, once it created the name space, you can open the management portal and you will see the newly created Managed Cache Namespace, and you can do further cache management from the Management Portal.

Are you able to get any information why the option to create a new cache has been deleted from the portal? Does this cache have any future ore should we start using the redis preview? - Anonymous

@Mike, I am not 100% sure, what might be went wrong in your scenario, it look like due to some unknown reason, session information is loosing from PowerShell Console, So verify whether you can workaround this issue by leveraging PowerShell CmdLet Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile. If this doesn't fix the issue, please open a support ticket with Microsoft ,so that we can have a investigation on this issue
