- Azure HPC Cache requires version 2.7 or later of the Azure CLI. If using Azure Cloud Shell, the latest version is already installed.
Most of the hpc-cache commands require you to pass the cache's resource group. You can set the default resource group by using az config.
After installing the Azure CLI extension and logging in, you can use Azure CLI to create and manage Azure HPC Cache systems.
