Introduction

Azure Cache for Redis is a fully managed, in-memory data store that offers high throughput and low-latency access to cached data. In this guide, we’ll utilize Terraform’s Infrastructure as Code (IaC) capabilities to provision and configure an Azure Cache for Redis resource.

In this lab, I will walk through the steps to create an Azure Cache for Redis using Terraform. I’ll also configure diagnostic settings to monitor its performance effectively. To ensure the security of our Azure Cache for Redis, I’ll establish a private endpoint, thereby securing it from public access. Finally, we’ll validate these resources within the Azure portal to confirm that everything is functioning as expected.

key features

  1. High Performance: Azure Cache for Redis is designed for high throughput and low-latency access to cached data. It’s based on the popular open-source Redis cache, making it extremely fast and efficient.
  2. In-Memory Data Store: It stores data in memory, which allows for lightning-fast data retrieval. This is particularly useful for caching frequently accessed data to reduce latency.
  3. Fully Managed Service: Azure Cache for Redis is a fully managed service. Azure takes care of…
