Azure Redis Cache by Patrik

Azure Redis Cache Pricing Tiers

The Azure Redis Cache offers the following pricing tiers with different features, performance, and budgets:

Basic

The Basic cache is a single node cache that is ideal for development/test and non-critical workloads. There’s no SLA (Service Level Agreement is Microsoft’s commitment for uptime and connectivity). The basic tier has different options to choose from C0 to C6. The lowest option is C0, and this is in a shared infrastructure. Everything above C0 provides dedicated service, i.e., this does not share infrastructure with other customers.

Minimal feature set
A single node
No SLA
Development and test

Standard

This tier offers an SLA and provides a replicated cache. The data is automatically replicated between the two nodes — ideal for production-level applications.

2 Replicated nodes (primary-secondary pair)
99.9% availability
53 GB of memory
20000 clients

Premium

The Premium tier has all the standard features and, also, it provides better performance, bigger workloads, enhanced security, and disaster recovery. Backups and Snapshots and can be created and restored in case of failures. It also offers Redis Persistence, which persists data stored inside the cache. It also provides a Redis Cluster, which automatically shares data across multiple Redis nodes. Hence this allows creating workloads of bigger memory sizes and get better performance. It also offers support for Azure Virtual Networks, which gives the ability to isolate the cache by using subnets, access control policies, and other features.
