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

bash
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

bash
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

csharp
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

Verify current service lifecycle, supported SKU/network features and the exact account/subscription before provisioning; static version/SKU tables are not current availability guarantees. Creation/scaling costs money; eviction-policy changes, import, reboot, rotation and deletion affect consumers/data. Require scoped authorization, backups and rollout/rollback. Rotate one key at a time only after moving and testing consumers on the other; keep connection strings, access keys and SAS URLs out of logs.

1. Create Redis Cache
csharp
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($"Cache created: {cache.Data.HostName}");
2. Get Redis Cache
csharp
// Get existing cache
var cache = await resourceGroup.Value
.GetRedisAsync("my-redis-cache");
Console.WriteLine($"Host: {cache.Value.Data.HostName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Port: {cache.Value.Data.Port}");
Console.WriteLine($"SSL Port: {cache.Value.Data.SslPort}");
Console.WriteLine($"Provisioning State: {cache.Value.Data.ProvisioningState}");
3. Update Redis Cache
csharp
var patchData = new RedisPatch
{
Sku = new RedisSku(RedisSkuName.Standard, RedisSkuFamily.BasicOrStandard, 2),
RedisConfiguration = new RedisCommonConfiguration
{
MaxMemoryPolicy = "allkeys-lru"
}
};
var updateOperation = await cache.Value.UpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
patchData);
4. Delete Redis Cache
csharp
await cache.Value.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
5. Get Access Keys
csharp
var keys = await cache.Value.GetKeysAsync();
// Use keys only in approved secret storage or a scoped connection; never log them.
6. Regenerate Access Keys
csharp
var regenerateContent = new RedisRegenerateKeyContent(RedisRegenerateKeyType.Primary);
var newKeys = await cache.Value.RegenerateKeyAsync(regenerateContent);
// Update authorized consumers through a secret store; never print the regenerated key.
7. Manage Firewall Rules
csharp
// Create firewall rule
var firewallData = new RedisFirewallRuleData(
startIP: System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.1"),
endIP: System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.255"));
var firewallCollection = cache.Value.GetRedisFirewallRules();
var firewallOperation = await firewallCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
"allow-internal-network",
firewallData);
// List all firewall rules
await foreach (var rule in firewallCollection.GetAllAsync())
{
Console.WriteLine($"Rule: {rule.Data.Name} ({rule.Data.StartIP} - {rule.Data.EndIP})");
}
// Delete firewall rule
var ruleToDelete = await firewallCollection.GetAsync("allow-internal-network");
await ruleToDelete.Value.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
8. Configure Patch Schedule (Premium SKU)
csharp
// Patch schedules require Premium SKU
var scheduleData = new RedisPatchScheduleData(
new[]
{
new RedisPatchScheduleSetting(RedisDayOfWeek.Saturday, 2) // 2 AM Saturday
{
MaintenanceWindow = TimeSpan.FromHours(5)
},
new RedisPatchScheduleSetting(RedisDayOfWeek.Sunday, 2) // 2 AM Sunday
{
MaintenanceWindow = TimeSpan.FromHours(5)
}
});
var scheduleCollection = cache.Value.GetRedisPatchSchedules();
await scheduleCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
RedisPatchScheduleDefaultName.Default,
scheduleData);
9. Import/Export Data (Premium SKU)
csharp
// Import data from blob storage
var importContent = new ImportRdbContent(
files: new[] { "https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/container/dump.rdb" },
format: "RDB");
await cache.Value.ImportDataAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, importContent);
// Export data to blob storage
var exportContent = new ExportRdbContent(
prefix: "backup",
container: "https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/container?sastoken",
format: "RDB");
await cache.Value.ExportDataAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, exportContent);
10. Force Reboot
csharp
var rebootContent = new RedisRebootContent
{
RebootType = RedisRebootType.AllNodes,
ShardId = 0 // For clustered caches
};
await cache.Value.ForceRebootAsync(rebootContent);

Best Practices

  1. Use `WaitUntil.Completed` for operations that must finish before proceeding
  2. Use `WaitUntil.Started` when you want to poll manually or run operations in parallel
  3. Always use `DefaultAzureCredential` — never hardcode keys
  4. Handle `RequestFailedException` for ARM API errors
  5. Use `CreateOrUpdateAsync` for idempotent operations
  6. Navigate hierarchy via Get* methods (e.g., cache.GetRedisFirewallRules())
  7. Use Premium SKU for production workloads requiring geo-replication, clustering, or persistence
  8. Enable TLS 1.2 minimum — set MinimumTlsVersion = RedisTlsVersion.Tls1_2
  9. Disable non-SSL port — set EnableNonSslPort = false for security
  10. Rotate keys regularly — use RegenerateKeyAsync and update connection strings

Error Handling

csharp
using Azure;
try
{
var operation = await cacheCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed, cacheName, cacheData);
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 409)
{
Console.WriteLine("Cache already exists");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 400)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Invalid configuration: {ex.Message}");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"ARM Error: {ex.Status} - {ex.ErrorCode}: {ex.Message}");
}

Common Pitfalls

  1. SKU downgrades not allowed — You cannot downgrade from Premium to Standard/Basic
  2. Clustering requires Premium — Shard configuration only available on Premium SKU
  3. Geo-replication requires Premium — Linked servers only work with Premium caches
  4. VNet injection requires Premium — Virtual network support is Premium-only
  5. Patch schedules require Premium — Maintenance windows only configurable on Premium
  6. Cache name globally unique — Redis cache names must be unique across all Azure subscriptions
  7. Long provisioning times — Cache creation can take 15-20 minutes; use WaitUntil.Started for async patterns

Connecting with StackExchange.Redis (Data Plane)

After creating the cache with this management SDK, use StackExchange.Redis for data operations:

csharp
using StackExchange.Redis;
// Get connection info from management SDK
var cache = await resourceGroup.Value.GetRedisAsync("my-redis-cache");
var keys = await cache.Value.GetKeysAsync();
// Connect with StackExchange.Redis
var connectionString = $"{cache.Value.Data.HostName}:{cache.Value.Data.SslPort},password={keys.Value.PrimaryKey},ssl=True,abortConnect=False";
var connection = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(connectionString);
var db = connection.GetDatabase();
// Data operations
await db.StringSetAsync("key", "value");
var value = await db.StringGetAsync("key");
