✅ Azure Managed Redis

Quickstart: Create an Azure Managed Redis cache using Bicep

Learn how to use Bicep to deploy a cache using Azure Cache for Redis. After you deploy the cache, use it with an existing storage account to keep diagnostic data. Learn how to define which resources are deployed and how to define parameters that are specified when the deployment is executed. You can use this Bicep file for your own deployments, or customize it to meet your requirements.

[!INCLUDE About Bicep]

Prerequisites

  • Azure subscription: If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.
  • A storage account: To create one, see Create an Azure Storage account. The storage account is used for diagnostic data. Create the storage account in a new resource group named exampleRG.

Azure Cache for Redis

Review the Bicep file

The Bicep file used in this quickstart is from Azure Quickstart Templates.

:::code language="bicep" source="~/quickstart-templates/quickstarts/microsoft.cache/redis-cache-microsoft-entra-authentication/main.bicep":::

The following resources are defined in the Bicep file:

Deploy the Azure Cache for Redis Bicep file

  1. Save the Bicep file as main.bicep to your local computer.

  2. Deploy the Bicep file using either Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell.

    CLI

    az deployment group create --resource-group exampleRG --template-file main.bicep --parameters existingDiagnosticsStorageAccountName=<storage-name> existingDiagnosticsStorageAccountResourceGroup=<resource-group>

    PowerShell

    New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName exampleRG -TemplateFile ./main.bicep -existingDiagnosticsStorageAccountName "<storage-name>" -existingDiagnosticsStorageAccountResourceGroup "<resource-group>"

    [!NOTE] Replace <storage-name> with the name of the storage account you created at the beginning of this quickstart. Replace <resource-group> with the name of the resource group name in which your storage account is located.

    When the deployment finishes, you see a message indicating the deployment succeeded.

The following resources are defined in the Bicep file:

Deploy the Bicep file

  1. Save the Bicep file as main.bicep to your local computer.

  2. Deploy the Bicep file using either Azure CLI or Azure PowerShell.

    CLI

    az deployment group create --resource-group exampleRG --template-file main.bicep

    PowerShell

    New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName exampleRG -TemplateFile ./main.bicep

    When the deployment finishes, you see a message indicating the deployment succeeded.

Review deployed resources

Use the Azure portal, Azure CLI, or Azure PowerShell to list the deployed resources in the resource group.

CLI

az resource list --resource-group exampleRG

PowerShell

Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName exampleRG

Clean up resources

When no longer needed, delete the resource group, which deletes the resources in the resource group.

CLI

az group delete --name exampleRG

PowerShell

Remove-AzResourceGroup -Name exampleRG
