This looks really good. I hope ultimately this replaces the “Azure Cache for Redis” resource. It’s slow, it’s a fork of Redis made to run on Windows, and it takes nearly an hour to create an instance of it.

I don't know why they wouldn't just run Redis on Linux.

If you have a Windows container for your app, you can only orchestrate that together with other Windows containers on one dev box. So if you need to spin up a cache as a sidecar, it has to be Windows.

Thanks for your interest in Azure Cache for Redis! The Enterprise SKUs (E-series) takes less provisioning time. Around 7 min. Hosted in Linux. Would that fit your requirements?
