  • Artikkeli

The Azure Explorer, which is part of the Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ, provides Java developers with an easy-to-use solution for managing Redis caches in their Azure account from inside the IntelliJ IDE.

Prerequisites

Displaying the Azure Explorer Tool Window

If the Azure Explorer tool window is not visible in IntelliJ, click View, then click Tool Windows, and then click Azure Explorer.

Create a Redis Cache by using IntelliJ

The following steps walk you through the steps to create a Redis cache using the Azure Explorer.

  1. Sign in to your Azure account by using the steps in Sign-in instructions for the Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ.

  2. In the Azure Explorer tool window, expand the Azure node, right-click Redis Caches, and then click Create.

  3. When the Create Azure Cache for Redis dialog box appears, specify the following options:

    • Basic:

      • Subscription: Specifies the Azure subscription you want to use for the new Redis cache.

      • Resource Group: Specifies the resource group for your redis cache. Select one of the following options:

        • Create new: Specifies that you want to create a new resource group by clicking + to finish.

        • Use existing: Specifies that you'll select from a dropdown list of resource groups that are associated with your Azure account.

    • Instance details:

      • DNS Name: Specifies the DNS subdomain for the new Redis cache, which is prepended to ".redis.cache.windows.net" (for example: wingtiptoys.redis.cache.windows.net).

      • Location: Specifies the location where your Redis cache is created (for example, West US).

      • Pricing Tier: Specifies which pricing tier your Redis cache uses. This setting determines the number of client connections. (For more information, see Redis Cache Pricing.)

      • Non-TLS port: Specifies whether your Redis cache allows non-TLS connections. By default, the non-TLS port is disabled. For more information, see Azure Cache for Redis management FAQs.

  4. When you've specified all your Redis cache settings, click OK.

  5. After your Redis cache has been created, it will be displayed in the Azure Explorer.
