Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis
Azure Cache for Redis is Microsoft's managed in-memory data store built on the open-source Redis software, used to put a low-latency cache, session store or message broker in front of a slower backing store. This record covers the management (control-plane) REST API — the Microsoft.Cache/redis resource provider on Azure Resource Manager — which creates, scales, secures, backs up and deletes caches across the Basic, Standard, Premium, Enterprise and Enterprise Flash tiers. The Redis data plane itself is plain Redis, spoken with an ordinary Redis client and not described by an OpenAPI. Microsoft announced in October 2025 that every Azure Cache for Redis SKU is retiring: Enterprise and Enterprise Flash on 2027-03-31, Basic, Standard and Premium on 2028-09-30, with Azure Managed Redis as the successor.
Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis publishes 13 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Linked Server API, Redis Cache Access Policies API, Redis Cache Access Policy Assignments API, and 10 more. Tagged areas include Microsoft Azure, Cache, Cloud Infrastructure, Datastore, and In-Memory Database.
The Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis catalog on APIs.io includes 2 event-driven AsyncAPI specifications, 1 JSON-LD context, and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis’ developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, pricing, support, engineering blog, documentation, API reference, and 51 more developer resources.
