Azure Cache for Redis libraries for Python

Overview

Azure Cache for Redis is based on the popular open-source Redis project. It gives you access to a secure, dedicated Redis server, managed by Microsoft and accessible from your Azure apps.

Redis server is an advanced key-value store, where keys can contain data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets. A Redis server supports a set of atomic operations on these data types.

Management API

Create and manage your Azure Cache for Redis resources in your subscription with the Redis management API.

pip install redis
pip install azure-mgmt-redis

Example

from azure.mgmt.redis import RedisManagementClient
from azure.mgmt.redis.models import Sku, RedisCreateOrUpdateParameters

redis_client = RedisManagementClient(
    credentials,
    subscription_id
)
group_name = 'myresourcegroup'
cache_name = 'mycachename'
redis_cache = redis_client.redis.create_or_update(
    group_name,
    cache_name,
    RedisCreateOrUpdateParameters(
        sku = Sku(name = 'Basic', family = 'C', capacity = '1'),
        location = "East US"
    )
)
# redis_cache is a RedisResourceWithAccessKey instance
