Azure Cache for Redis
Scale performance easily and economically as app needs and traffic grow. With the advantages of a fully managed service, handle thousands of concurrent users with near-instantaneous performance by adding a fast cache layer to the application design.
Better speed and throughput to manage millions of requests per second with latency as low as sub-milliseconds.
You can concentrate on development with Azure’s fully managed service that has automated patching, updates, scalability, and provisioning.
RedisJSON, RedisTimeSeries, RedisBloom, and RediSearch module integration, enabling data streaming, search, and analysis.
Strong features include Redis on Flash, clustering, active geo-replication, and up to 99.999 percent availability.
What can be constructed using Azure Cache Redis
Reduce latency and increase application performance
To speed up your data layer via caching, use Azure Cache for Redis. At a reasonable cost, adding Azure Cache for Redis may boost latency performance by over 1,000 percent and enhance data throughput by over 800 percent. It’s a fantastic method for quickly scaling apps and enhancing user experience without paying for a costly database redesign.
Applications may run faster using a distributed cache
Provide your data layer with the ability to extend throughput at a cheaper cost than with larger database instances, complementing database services like Azure SQL Database and Azure Cosmos DB. By using a common cache-aside structure, you may store and exchange session states, static content, and database query results while improving the nimbleness and scalability of your application.
Effectively store session information
Save, retrieve, and update web session data such as output pages and user cookies quickly. Enhance your application’s responsiveness and capacity to manage growing loads with less web-computing resources to improve performance. To maximize user data dependability, take use of data permanence and automated data duplication. To satisfy the demands of even the biggest companies, use clustering to scale up to terabyte sizes and synchronize session data worldwide with active geo-distribution.
Act as an intermediary for messages between services
To develop queue or publish/subscribe structures, use Azure Cache for Redis. Send messages in real time and expand online communication frameworks like SignalR. For data in transit, use industry-standard TLS encryption, and set up appropriate network isolation using Azure Private Link.
Boost app performance on Azure with Redis Enterprise
With Azure Cache for Redis’s Enterprise and Enterprise Flash tiers, which were created in collaboration with Redis Inc., you can get revolutionary support for well-liked Redis Enterprise capabilities. To build globally distributed caches with up to 99.999% availability, use active geo-replication. Utilize the RediSearch, RedisBloom, and RedisTimeSeries modules that come with the package to add new data structures that improve analytics and machine learning. And run Redis on fast flash storage by using the Enterprise Flash tier, which offers huge cache sizes at a cheaper cost.

Row-Level Security is a programmable security feature that can be implemented in databases to enable fine-grained access over rows in a table. It can be used to control over which users can access which data.
This latest version of Azure SQL Database introduces near-complete SQL Server engine compatibility, greater support for larger databases, and expanded performance with Azure Premium service. Internal tests on over 600 million rows of data show query performance improvements of around five times in Azure SQL Database V12 Preview relative to the current version of Azure SQL Database and up to 100 times when applying the in-memory columnstore technology.
Enable Operational Insights on your virtual machines to perform deeper analysis, including malware assessment, update assessment, change tracking, and SQL Server assessment. You can now easily enable Operational Insights on your virtual machines by using Windows PowerShell or with a single click from the Azure Management Portal.
You can now customize your Azure HDInsight clusters with projects that are available from the Apache Hadoop ecosystem, a portfolio of fast-moving, open-source projects. The new Script Action feature can modify Hadoop clusters in arbitrary ways by using custom scripts, so you can experiment with and deploy Hadoop projects that were not possible before.
All customers who deploy their websites and web apps by using Azure Websites can generate weblogs that track all HTTP transactions and errors in detail. These logs are stored in blobs in Azure Storage as nonrelational files that are semistructured. (Traditionally, semistructured files are harder to analyze unless they’re extracted and transformed into a relational table or database.)
Although Hadoop was built for these specific use cases (including the ability to analyze large volumes of nonrelational files), the process isn’t easy to learn. To address this, HDInsight now includes a weblog analytics task in its query console to guide you through the process in a few easy steps.
The new Premium tier of Azure API Management simplifies high availability and massive scale (each unit includes one billion API calls per month). Geo-distribution provides a turnkey way for you to host an API Management instance in multiple Azure datacenters with automatically synchronized configuration around the world. Added virtual private network (VPN) connectivity means you can connect the API Management proxy to your Azure Virtual Network (including ExpressRoute) for maximum security and performance when tackling hybrid scenarios. Integration with Azure Active Directory provides better support for internal and business-to-business API programs, allowing developers to sign in to the Azure management portal by using their corporate credentials.
Conditional access policies can now be created with Azure Active Directory Premium to enforce multifactor authentication for users and groups trying to access specific applications. Trusted IP ranges can be excluded from the policy. With this release, you can enforce multifactor authentication only for access to federated applications.
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Connect Health helps you monitor and gain insight into your on-premises identity infrastructure. It offers you the ability to view alerts, performance, usage patterns, and configuration settings. It also enables you to maintain a reliable connection to Office 365 and much more.
