azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet

Azure.ResourceManager.Redis (.NET)

Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Azure Cache for Redis resources via Azure Resource Manager.

⚠️ Management vs Data Plane

• This SDK (Azure.ResourceManager.Redis): Create caches, configure firewall rules, manage access keys, set up geo-replication
• Data Plane SDK (StackExchange.Redis): Get/set keys, pub/sub, streams, Lua scripts

Installation

dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.Redis
dotnet add package Azure.Identity

Current Version: 1.5.1 (Stable)
API Version: 2024-11-01
Target Frameworks: .NET 8.0, .NET Standard 2.0

Environment Variables

AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
# For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>

Authentication

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Redis;

// Always use DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);

// Get subscription
var subscriptionId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID");
var subscription = armClient.GetSubscriptionResource(
    new ResourceIdentifier($"/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}"));

Core Workflows

1. Create Redis Cache

using Azure.ResourceManager.Redis;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Redis.Models;

// Get resource group
var resourceGroup = await subscription
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

// Define cache configuration
var cacheData = new RedisCreateOrUpdateContent(
    location: AzureLocation.EastUS,
    sku: new RedisSku(RedisSkuName.Standard, RedisSkuFamily.BasicOrStandard, 1))
{
    EnableNonSslPort = false,
    MinimumTlsVersion = RedisTlsVersion.Tls1_2,
    RedisConfiguration = new RedisCommonConfiguration
    {
        MaxMemoryPolicy = "volatile-lru"
    },
    Tags =
    {
        ["environment"] = "production"
    }
};

// Create cache (long-running operation)
var cacheCollection = resourceGroup.Value.GetAllRedis();
var operation = await cacheCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    "my-redis-cache",
    cacheData);

RedisResource cache = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Cache created: {cache.Data.HostName}");
