Microsoft is the first cloud service provider to license Redis as a first-party service to provide the Redis community with the continuity and consistency they’ve come to expect. Azure Managed Redis is the only fully-managed, co-engineered Redis designed for hyperscale cloud environments. With industry-leading 99.999% availability and customized performance and memory offerings—all backed by Microsoft’s trusted cloud—you’re getting the full stack of Redis capabilities across all Azure tiers. Get faster data infrastructure, including semantic caching, session caching, NoSQL database, vector database, and more.
With Azure Managed Redis, you can build your own AI-powered apps to generate embeddings, process text queries, and provide natural language responses. Used as a vector database, Azure Cache for Redis functions as an external knowledge repository for generative models offering real-time updates. Redis stores vector embeddings and computes vector similarity with high performance and low latency. The Azure OpenAI integration makes building faster than ever.
Whether you’re just starting out, experimenting, or scaling to enterprise workloads, Redis on Azure offers competitive total cost of ownership with pricing tailored to your performance and memory needs. Every tier of Azure Managed Redis is estimated to provide savings of more than 30% versus comparable offerings from Azure Cache for Redis.
Azure Managed Redis introduces eight new data structures—JSON, vector, time series, and five probabilistic types—along with built-in advanced capabilities, such as vector search, secondary indexing for full-text search, exact matching, geospatial queries, numeric data handling, and fast data processing. Devs also have access to client libraries for .NET, Python, Java, Go, and Node.
The built-in Redis Query Engine ensures apps get the specific data they need faster by aggregating, transforming, and filtering data straight in Redis. There’s no need to juggle where to store various pieces of data to speed them up since the most common data types can now all be stored and accessed fast straight from Redis.
Devs can use Redis Insight—the official GUI for Redis—and our AI assistant Redis Copilot, to build Redis queries and make sense of their real-time data faster.
Deliver on higher availability with multi-site Active-Active. Get 99.999% availability (6 mins of downtime per year)—with the ability to write on multiple locations while maintaining local read/write latency—compared to only 99.9% availability (8 hrs of downtime per year). That means faster data infra for semantic caching, vector database, session caching, NoSQL database, event streams, and other use cases.

You can sign up for Redis Cloud directly and deploy on Azure when you connect your databases, or you can deploy directly via the Azure Portal. While Azure Managed Redis is in public preview, you can continue to use Azure Cache for Redis for your production workloads on Microsoft.
Azure Managed Redis, now in preview, delivers the latest Redis innovations designed for hyperscale cloud environments, offering industry-leading 99.999% availability. With flexible performance and memory options, Azure Managed Redis provides a low total cost of ownership (TCO) to meet diverse and mission-critical workload needs.
Unlike traditional databases that rely on slower disk-based storage, Azure Managed Redis stores data in memory. This allows for much faster data writing and retrieval since memory is significantly quicker than disk storage.
Azure Managed Redis offers fast, cost-effective data access, reducing latency for high-demand applications and AI-powered apps. It scales easily to handle growing workloads, supports seamless updates, and minimizes operational overhead. With advanced features like active geo-replication and data persistence, it ensures high availability and disaster recovery. Enhanced security through network isolation and Microsoft Entra ID authentication, plus built-in monitoring, simplifies management while saving costs.
Azure Managed Redis is a new service that brings the latest Redis innovations across all tiers with competitive pricing and improved performance. It also offers non-high-availability options to help further reduce TCO. This transition is designed to improve application performance and scalability, making it especially beneficial for AI use cases.
