Azure Redis Cache libraries for Python

Overview

Azure Redis Cache is based on the popular open source Redis project. It gives you access to a secure, dedicated Redis instance, managed by Microsoft and accessible from your Azure apps.

Redis is an advanced key-value store, where keys can contain data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets. Redis supports a set of atomic operations on these data types.

Management API

Create and manage your Redis resources in your subscription with the Redis management API.

pip install redis
pip install azure-mgmt-redis

Example

The following example creates a new Redis cache:

from azure.mgmt.redis import RedisManagementClient
from azure.mgmt.redis.models import Sku, RedisCreateOrUpdateParameters

redis_client = RedisManagementClient(
    credentials,
    subscription_id
)
group_name = 'myresourcegroup'
cache_name = 'mycachename'
redis_cache = redis_client.redis.create_or_update(
    group_name,
    cache_name,
    RedisCreateOrUpdateParameters(
        sku = Sku(name = 'Basic', family = 'C', capacity = '1'),
        location = "East US"
    )
)
# redis_cache is a RedisResourceWithAccessKey instance
