What it does
Azure Resource Manager SDK for Redis in .NET. Use for MANAGEMENT PLANE operations: creating/managing Azure Cache for Redis instances, firewall rules, access keys, patch schedules, linked servers (geo-replication), and private endpoints via Azure Resource Manager. NOT for data plane operations (get/set keys, pub/sub) - use StackExchange.Redis for that. Triggers: "Redis cache", "create Redis", "manage Redis", "ARM Redis", "RedisResource", "provision Redis", "Azure Cache for Redis".
Azure.ResourceManager.Redis (.NET)
Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Azure Cache for Redis resources via Azure Resource Manager.
⚠️ Management vs Data Plane
- This SDK (Azure.ResourceManager.Redis): Create caches, configure firewall rules, manage access keys, set up geo-replication
- Data Plane SDK (StackExchange.Redis): Get/set keys, pub/sub, streams, Lua scripts

Environment Variables
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id> # Required: Azure subscription ID
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production

Authentication
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Redis;
// Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(
DefaultAzureCredential.DefaultEnvironmentVariableName
);
// Or use a specific credential directly in production:
// See https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-dotnet#credential-classes
// var credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential();
var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);
// Get subscription
var subscriptionId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID");
var subscription = armClient.GetSubscriptionResource(
new ResourceIdentifier($"/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}"));
