## Description

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".

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# 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

## Installation

```bash
dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.Redis
dotnet add package Azure.Identity
```

**Current Version**: 1.5.1 (Stable)  
**API Version**: 2024-11-01  
**Target Frameworks**: .NET 8.0, .NET Standard 2.0

## Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>  # Required: Azure subscription ID
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod  # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>  # For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>  # For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>  # For service principal auth (optional)
```

## Authentication

```csharp
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}"));
```
