Manage Azure Redis with Azure PowerShell
Azure Managed Redis
To create an Azure Managed Redis (preview) instance, sign in to the Azure portal and select Create a resource.
On the New page, select Databases and then select Azure Cache for Redis.
On the New Redis Cache page, configure the settings for your new cache.
Setting Choose a value Description Subscription Drop down and select your subscription. The subscription under which to create this new Azure Managed Redis instance. Resource group Drop down and select a resource group, or select Create new and enter a new resource group name. Name for the resource group in which to create your cache and other resources. By putting all your app resources in one resource group, you can easily manage or delete them together. DNS name Enter a name that is unique in the region. The cache name must be a string between 1 and 63 characters when combined with the cache's region name that contain only numbers, letters, or hyphens. (If the cache name is fewer than 45 characters long it should work in all currently available regions.) The name must start and end with a number or letter, and can't contain consecutive hyphens. Your cache instance's host name is \<DNS name\>.\<Azure region\>.redis.azure.net.Location Drop down and select a location. Azure Managed Redis is available in selected Azure regions. Cache type Drop down and select the performance tier and cache size. The tier determines the performance of the Redis instance, while the cache size determines the memory available to store data. For guidance on choosing the right performance tier, see Choosing the right tier 
Select Next: Networking and select either a public or private endpoint.
Select Next: Advanced. Here, you can configure any Redis modules to be added to the instance.
Set Clustering policy to Enterprise for a nonclustered cache, or to OSS for a clustered cache. For more information on choosing Clustering policy, see Cluster policy.
If you are using Active geo-replication, it must be configured during creation. For instructions on how do to this, see Configure active geo-replication for Azure Managed Redis instances.
Important
You can't change the clustering policy of an Azure Managed Redis (preview) instance after you create it. If you're using RediSearch, the Enterprise cluster policy is required, and
NoEvictionis the only eviction policy supported.Important
If you're using this cache instance in a geo-replication group, eviction policies cannot be changed after the instance is created. Be sure to know the eviction policies of your primary nodes before you create the cache. For more information on active geo-replication, see Active geo-replication prerequisites.
Important
You can't change modules after you create a cache instance. Modules must be enabled at the time you create an Azure Cache for Redis instance. There is no option to enable the configuration of a module after you create a cache.
Select Next: Tags and skip.
Select Next: Review + create.
Review the settings and select Create.
It will take several minutes for the Redis instance to create. You can monitor progress on the Azure Managed Redis Overview page. When Status shows as Running, the cache is ready to use.
Azure Cache for Redis
To create a cache, sign in to the Azure portal. On the portal menu, select Create a resource.
On the Get Started pane, enter Azure Cache for Redis in the search bar. In the search results, find Azure Cache for Redis, and then select Create.
On the New Redis Cache pane, on the Basics tab, configure the following settings for your cache:
Setting Action Description Subscription Select your Azure subscription. The subscription to use to create the new instance of Azure Cache for Redis. Resource group Select a resource group, or select Create new and enter a new resource group name. A name for the resource group in which to create your cache and other resources. By putting all your app resources in one resource group, you can easily manage or delete them together. DNS name Enter a unique name. The cache name must be a string of 1 to 63 characters that contains only numbers, letters, and hyphens. The name must start and end with a number or letter, and it can't contain consecutive hyphens. Your cache instance's host name is \<DNS name>.redis.cache.windows.net.Location Select a location. An Azure region that is near other services that use your cache. Cache SKU Select a SKU. The SKU determines the size, performance, and feature parameters that are available for the cache. For more information, see Azure Cache for Redis overview. Cache size Select a cache size. For more information, see Azure Cache for Redis overview. Select the Networking tab or select Next: Networking.
On the Networking tab, select a connectivity method to use for the cache.
Select the Advanced tab or select Next: Advanced.
On the Advanced pane, verify or select an authentication method based on the following information:
- By default, for a new Basic, Standard, or Premium cache, Microsoft Entra Authentication is enabled and Access Keys Authentication is disabled.
- For Basic or Standard caches, you can choose the selection for a non-TLS port.
- For Standard and Premium caches, you can choose to enable availability zones. You can't disable availability zones after the cache is created.
- For a Premium cache, configure the settings for non-TLS port, clustering, managed identity, and data persistence.
Important
For optimal security, we recommend that you use Microsoft Entra ID with managed identities to authorize requests against your cache if possible. Authorization by using Microsoft Entra ID and managed identities provides superior security and ease of use over shared access key authorization. For more information about using managed identities with your cache, see Use Microsoft Entra ID for cache authentication.
(Optional) Select the Tags tab or select Next: Tags.
(Optional) On the Tags tab, enter a tag name and value if you want to categorize your cache resource.
Select the Review + create button.
On the Review + create tab, Azure automatically validates your configuration.
After the green Validation passed message appears, select Create.
A new cache deployment occurs over several minutes. You can monitor the progress of the deployment on the Azure Cache for Redis Overview pane. When Status displays Running, the cache is ready to use.
This article shows you how to create, update, and scale your Azure Redis instances.
Note
Azure has two different deployment models you can use to create and work with resources: Azure Resource Manager and classic. This article covers the use of the Resource Manager deployment model. We recommend the Resource Manager deployment model for new deployments instead of the classic deployment model.
For more information about the classic deployment model, see Azure Resource Manager vs. classic deployment: Understand deployment models and the state of your resources.

To create an Azure Cache for Redis
New Azure Cache for Redis instances are created using the New-AzRedisCache cmdlet.
Important
The first time you create an Azure Cache for Redis in a subscription using the Azure portal, the portal registers the Microsoft.Cache namespace for that subscription. If you attempt to create the first Azure Cache for Redis in a subscription using PowerShell, you must first register that namespace using the following command; otherwise cmdlets such as New-AzRedisCache and Get-AzRedisCache fail.
Register-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace "Microsoft.Cache"
To see a list of available parameters and their descriptions for New-AzRedisCache, run the following command.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
To create a cache with default parameters, run the following command.
New-AzRedisCache -ResourceGroupName myGroup -Name mycache -Location "North Central US"
ResourceGroupName, Name, and Location are required parameters, but the rests are optional and have default values. Running the previous command creates a Standard SKU Azure Cache for Redis instance with the specified name, location, and resource group. The instance is 1 GB in size with the non-SSL port disabled.
To create a premium cache, specify a size of P1 (6 GB - 60 GB), P2 (13 GB - 130 GB), P3 (26 GB - 260 GB), or P4 (53 GB - 530 GB). To enable clustering, specify a shard count using the ShardCount parameter. The following example creates a P1 premium cache with three shards. A P1 premium cache is 6 GB in size, and since we specified three shards the total size is 18 GB (3 x 6 GB).
New-AzRedisCache -ResourceGroupName myGroup -Name mycache -Location "North Central US" -Sku Premium -Size P1 -ShardCount 3
To specify values for the RedisConfiguration parameter, enclose the values inside {} as key/value pairs like @{"maxmemory-policy" = "allkeys-random", "notify-keyspace-events" = "KEA"}. The following example creates a standard 1-GB cache with allkeys-random maxmemory policy and keyspace notifications configured with KEA. For more information, see Keyspace notifications (advanced settings) and Memory policies.
New-AzRedisCache -ResourceGroupName myGroup -Name mycache -Location "North Central US" -RedisConfiguration @{"maxmemory-policy" = "allkeys-random", "notify-keyspace-events" = "KEA"}
To configure the databases setting during cache creation
The databases setting can be configured only during cache creation. The following example creates a premium P3 (26 GB) cache with 48 databases using the New-AzRedisCache cmdlet.
New-AzRedisCache -ResourceGroupName myGroup -Name mycache -Location "North Central US" -Sku Premium -Size P3 -RedisConfiguration @{"databases" = "48"}
For more information on the databases property, see Default Azure Cache for Redis server configuration. For more information on creating a cache using the New-AzRedisCache cmdlet, see the previous To create an Azure Cache for Redis section.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
The Set-AzRedisCache cmdlet can be used to update properties such as Size, Sku, EnableNonSslPort, and the RedisConfiguration values.
The following command updates the maxmemory-policy for the Azure Cache for Redis named myCache.
Set-AzRedisCache -ResourceGroupName "myGroup" -Name "myCache" -RedisConfiguration @{"maxmemory-policy" = "allkeys-random"}
To scale an Azure Cache for Redis
Set-AzRedisCache can be used to scale an Azure Cache for Redis instance when the Size, Sku, or ShardCount properties are modified.
Note
Scaling a cache using PowerShell is subject to the same limits and guidelines as scaling a cache from the Azure portal. You can scale to a different pricing tier with the following restrictions.
- You can't scale from a higher pricing tier to a lower pricing tier.
- You can't scale from a Premium cache down to a Standard or a Basic cache.
- You can't scale from a Standard cache down to a Basic cache.
- You can scale from a Basic cache to a Standard cache but you can't change the size at the same time. If you need a different size, you can do a subsequent scaling operation to the desired size.
- You can't scale from a Basic cache directly to a Premium cache. You must scale from Basic to Standard in one scaling operation, and then from Standard to Premium in a subsequent scaling operation.
- You can't scale from a larger size down to the C0 (250 MB) size.
For more information, see How to Scale Azure Cache for Redis.
The following example shows how to scale a cache named myCache to a 2.5-GB cache. This command works for both a Basic or a Standard cache.
Set-AzRedisCache -ResourceGroupName myGroup -Name myCache -Size 2.5GB
After this command is issued, the status of the cache is returned---similar to calling Get-AzRedisCache. The ProvisioningState is set to Scaling.
PS C:\> Set-AzRedisCache -Name myCache -ResourceGroupName myGroup -Size 2.5GB
Name : mycache
Id : /subscriptions/12ad12bd-abdc-2231-a2ed-a2b8b246bbad4/resourceGroups/mygroup/providers/Mi

When the scaling operation is complete, the ProvisioningState changes to Succeeded. If you need to make another scaling operation---for example, changing from Basic to Standard and then changing the size---you must wait until the previous operation is complete or you receive an error similar to the following.
Set-AzRedisCache : Conflict: The resource '...' is not in a stable state, and is currently unable to accept the update request.
