What This Skill Does
Azure.ResourceManager.Redis is the .NET SDK for the Azure Resource Manager management plane, covering provisioning and configuration of Azure Cache for Redis instances. It handles firewall rules, access key management, patch schedules, geo-replication via linked servers, and private endpoints. For data operations like get/set or pub/sub, use StackExchange.Redis instead.
It gives you typed .NET objects and async long-running operation support for ARM-level Redis management, avoiding raw REST calls or az CLI scripting in CI/CD pipelines.
When to use it
- Provisioning a new Redis cache with a specific SKU and TLS configuration
- Rotating primary or secondary access keys on a schedule
- Adding IP-range firewall rules to restrict cache access
- Configuring maintenance windows for Premium-tier caches
- Setting up geo-replication by linking two Premium Redis instances
