Redis cache

Overview

The redislabs.com/Redis is a resource which can be deployed to any platform Radius supports.

Resource format

• Recipe
• Manual

resource redis 'Applications.Datastores/redisCaches@2023-10-01-preview' = {
  name: 'redis'
  properties: {
    environment: environment
    application:app.id
    recipe: {
      // Name a specific Recipe to use
      name: 'azure-redis'
      // Set optional/required parameters (specific to the Recipe)
      parameters: {
        size: 'large'
      }
    }
  }
}

Methods

The following methods are available on the Redis cache:

Resource provisioning

Provision with a Recipe

Recipes automate infrastructure provisioning using approved templates. When no Recipe configuration is set, Radius will use the currently registered Recipe as the default in the environment for the given resource. Otherwise, a Recipe name and parameters can optionally be set to override this default.

Provision manually

If you want to manually manage your infrastructure provisioning without the use of Recipes, you can set resourceProvisioning to 'manual' and provide all necessary parameters and values that enable Radius to deploy or connect to the desired infrastructure.

Environment variables for connections

Other Radius resources, such as containers, may connect to a Redis resource via connections. When a connection to Redis named, for example, myconnection is declared, Radius injects values into environment variables that are then used to access the connected Redis resource:
