  • Článok

The Azure Explorer, which is part of the Azure Toolkit for Eclipse, provides Java developers with an easy-to-use solution for managing redis caches in their Azure account from inside the Eclipse IDE.

Prerequisites

To complete the steps in this article, you will need to install the Azure Toolkit for Eclipse, which requires the following software components:

Note

The Azure Toolkit for Eclipse page at the Eclipse Marketplace lists the builds that are compatible with the toolkit.

Displaying the Azure Explorer view

If the Azure Explorer view is not visible in Eclipse, display it by doing the following:

  1. Click Window, hover over Show View, and then click Other.

  2. In the Show View dialog box, expand Azure, select Azure Explorer, and then click Open.

    Select the Azure Explorer option.

Create a Redis Cache by using Eclipse

The following steps walk you through the steps to create a redis cache using the Azure Explorer.

  1. Sign in to your Azure account using the steps in the [Sign In Instructions for the Azure Toolkit for Eclipse] article.

  2. In the Azure Explorer tool window, expand the Azure node, right-click Redis Caches, and then click Create Redis Cache.

  3. When the New Redis Cache dialog box appears, specify the following options:

    a. DNS Name: Specifies the DNS subdomain for the new redis cache, which is prepended to ".redis.cache.windows.net"; for example: wingtiptoys.redis.cache.windows.net.

    b. Subscription: Specifies the Azure subscription you want to use for the new redis cache.

    c. Resource Group: Specifies the resource group for your redis cache; you need to choose one of the following options:

    • Create New: Specifies that you want to create a new resource group.
    • Use Existing: Specifies that you will choose from a list of resource groups associated with your Azure account.

    d. Location: Specifies the location where your redis cache is created; for example, West US.

    e. Pricing Tier: Specifies which pricing tier your redis cache uses; this setting determines the number of client connections. (For more information, see Redis Cache Pricing.)

    f. Non-SSL port: Specifies whether your redis cache allows non-SSL connections; by default, only SSL connections are allowed.

  4. When you have specified all your redis cache settings, click OK.

After your redis cache has been created, it will be displayed in the Azure Explorer.
