azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet

Makes your agent interact with the Azure Redis Cache service. It helps manage and configure caches to improve application performance.

What it does

This code allows you to manage Azure Cache for Redis resources using .NET. You can create, update, delete caches, configure firewall rules, and manage access keys.

When to use it

  • ✓Creating a new Redis cache for your application.
  • ✓Changing settings of an existing Redis cache.
  • ✓Managing who can access your Redis cache via firewall rules.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Create a Redis cache named 'my-cache' in the 'EastUS' region with default settings.”

Ready-to-paste message

Use this skill to help me: https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/blob/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet/SKILL.md Read the SKILL.md file at that link and follow its instructions for my task.
How it works

It uses the Azure SDK for .NET to communicate with Azure Resource Manager. You define the cache details in code, and the SDK handles the creation and management.

Installation

Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.

In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet

Or download just the file:

Azure.ResourceManager.Redis (.NET)

Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Azure Cache for Redis resources via Azure Resource Manager.

⚠️ Management vs Data Plane

  • This SDK (Azure.ResourceManager.Redis): Create caches, configure firewall rules, manage access keys, set up geo-replication
  • Data Plane SDK (StackExchange.Redis): Get/set keys, pub/sub, streams, Lua scripts

Installation

dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.Redis
dotnet add package Azure.Identity

Current Version: 1.5.1 (Stable)
API Version: 2024-11-01
Target Frameworks: .NET 8.0, .NET Standard 2.0

Environment Variables

AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
# For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>

Authentication

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Redis;

// Always use DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);

// Get subscription
var subscriptionId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID");
var subscription = armClient.GetSubscriptionResource(
    new ResourceIdentifier($"/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}"));

Resource Hierarchy

ArmClient
└── SubscriptionResource
    └── ResourceGroupResource
        └── RedisResource
            ├── RedisFirewallRuleResource
            ├── RedisPatchScheduleResource
            ├── RedisLinkedServerWithPropertyResource
            ├── RedisPrivateEndpointConnectionResource
            └── RedisCacheAccessPolicyResource

Core Workflows

1. Create Redis Cache

using Azure.ResourceManager.Redis;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Redis.Models;

// Get resource group
var resourceGroup = await subscription
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

// Define cache configuration
var cacheData = new RedisCreateOrUpdateContent(
    location: AzureLocation.EastUS,
    sku: new RedisSku(RedisSkuName.Standard, RedisSkuFamily.BasicOrStandard, 1))
{
    EnableNonSslPort = false,
    MinimumTlsVersion = RedisTlsVersion.Tls1_2,
    RedisConfiguration = new RedisCommonConfiguration
    {
        MaxMemoryPolicy = "volatile-lru"
    },
    Tags =
    {
        ["environment"] = "production"
    }
};

// Create cache (long-running operation)
var cacheCollection = resourceGroup.Value.GetAllRedis();
var operation = await cacheCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    "my-redis-cache",
    cacheData);

RedisResource cache = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Cache created: {cache.Data.HostName}");

2. Get Redis Cache

// Get existing cache
var cache = await resourceGroup.Value
    .GetRedisAsync("my-redis-cache");

Console.WriteLine($"Host: {cache.Value.Data.HostName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Port: {cache.Value.Data.Port}");
Console.WriteLine($"SSL Port: {cache.Value.Data.SslPort}");
Console.WriteLine($"Provisioning State: {cache.Value.Data.ProvisioningState}");

3. Update Redis Cache

var patchData = new RedisPatch
{
    Sku = new RedisSku(RedisSkuName.Standard, RedisSkuFamily.BasicOrStandard, 2),
    RedisConfiguration = new RedisCommonConfiguration
    {
        MaxMemoryPolicy = "allkeys-lru"
    }
};

var updateOperation = await cache.Value.UpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    patchData);

4. Delete Redis Cache

await cache.Value.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);

5. Get Access Keys

var keys = await cache.Value.GetKeysAsync();
Console.WriteLine($"Primary Key: {keys.Value.PrimaryKey}");
Console.WriteLine($"Secondary Key: {keys.Value.SecondaryKey}");

6. Regenerate Access Keys

var regenerateContent = new RedisRegenerateKeyContent(RedisRegenerateKeyType.Primary);
var newKeys = await cache.Value.RegenerateKeyAsync(regenerateContent);
Console.WriteLine($"New Primary Key: {newKeys.Value.PrimaryKey}");

7. Manage Firewall Rules

// Create firewall rule
var firewallData = new RedisFirewallRuleData(
    startIP: System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.1"),
    endIP: System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.255"));

var firewallCollection = cache.Value.GetRedisFirewallRules();
var firewallOperation = await firewallCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    "allow-internal-network",
    firewallData);

// List all firewall rules

FAQ

What's the difference between this code and StackExchange.Redis?

This code manages the *cache itself* (creation, configuration), while StackExchange.Redis interacts with the *data inside* the cache (saving and reading values).

Do I need any special setup to use it?

Yes, you need to have the Azure SDK for .NET installed and set up your Azure authentication credentials, like your subscription ID.

Can I manage everything about the Redis cache with this code?

You can manage creation, configuration, firewall rules, access keys, and patch scheduling (for Premium SKU). For data operations (save/read), you would use a different SDK.
