Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Redis library

Provides extension methods and resource definitions for an Aspire AppHost to configure Azure Managed Redis.

Note: The AddAzureRedis method is obsolete. Use AddAzureManagedRedis instead, which provisions Azure Managed Redis. Azure Cache for Redis announced its retirement timeline.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Install the package

In your AppHost project, install the Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Redis library with NuGet:

dotnet add package Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Redis

Configure Azure Provisioning for local development

Adding Azure resources to the Aspire application model will automatically enable development-time provisioning for Azure resources so that you don't need to configure them manually. Provisioning requires a number of settings to be available via .NET configuration. Set these values in user secrets in order to allow resources to be configured automatically.

{
    "Azure": {
      "SubscriptionId": "<your subscription id>",
      "ResourceGroupPrefix": "<prefix for the resource group>",
      "Location": "<azure location>"
    }
}

NOTE: Developers must have Owner access to the target subscription so that role assignments can be configured for the provisioned resources.

Usage example

Then, in the AppHost.cs file of AppHost, register an Azure Managed Redis resource using the following methods:

var redis = builder.AddAzureManagedRedis("cache");

var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
                       .WithReference(redis);

The WithReference method configures a connection in the MyService project named cache. By default, AddAzureManagedRedis configures Microsoft Entra ID authentication. This requires changes to applications that need to connect to these resources. In the Program.cs file of MyService, the redis connection can be consumed using the client library Aspire.Microsoft.Azure.StackExchangeRedis:

builder.AddRedisClientBuilder("cache")
       .WithAzureAuthentication();

Connection Properties

When you reference Azure Redis resources using WithReference, the following connection properties are made available to the consuming project:

Azure Redis Enterprise

Property Name Description
Host The hostname of the Azure Redis Enterprise database endpoint.
Port The port of the Azure Redis Enterprise database endpoint (10000 for Azure).
Uri The Redis connection URI. In Azure mode this is redis://{Host}; when running via RunAsContainer it matches redis://[:{Password}@]{Host}:{Port}.
Password The access key for the Redis server. Empty when using Entra ID authentication; populated when using WithAccessKeyAuthentication() or running as a container.

Aspire exposes each property as an environment variable named [RESOURCE]_[PROPERTY]. For instance, the Uri property of a resource called cache becomes CACHE_URI.
