# Azure.ResourceManager.Redis (.NET)

## Overview

This public intake copy packages `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet` from `https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills` into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the `external_source` block in `metadata.json` plus `ORIGIN.md` as the provenance anchor for review.

# 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

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Environment Variables, Authentication, Error Handling, Common Pitfalls, Connecting with StackExchange.Redis (Data Plane), Limitations.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

- This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
- Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Azure Resource Manager SDK for Redis in .NET.
- Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
- Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
- Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
- Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

## Operating Table

| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| First-time use | `metadata.json` | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the `external_source` block before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | `ORIGIN.md` | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | `SKILL.md` | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | `SKILL.md` | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | `## Related Skills` | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |

## Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

```

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

#### Imported: Core Workflows

### 1. Create Redis Cache

```csharp
using Azure.ResourceManager.Redis;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Redis.Models;

// Get resource group
var resourceGroup = await subscription
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

// Define cache configuration
var cacheData = new RedisCreateOrUpdateContent(
    location: AzureLocation.EastUS,
    sku: new RedisSku(RedisSkuName.Standard, RedisSkuFamily.BasicOrStandard, 1))
{
    EnableNonSslPort = false,
    MinimumTlsVersion = RedisTlsVersion.Tls1_2,
    RedisConfiguration = new RedisCommonConfiguration
    {
        MaxMemoryPolicy = "volatile-lru"
    },
    Tags =
    {
        ["environment"] = "production"
    }
};

// Create cache (long-running operation)
var cacheCollection = resourceGroup.Value.GetAllRedis();
var operation = await cacheCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    "my-redis-cache",
    cacheData);

RedisResource cache = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Cache created: {cache.Data.HostName}");
```

### 2. Get Redis Cache

```csharp
// Get existing cache
var cache = await resourceGroup.Value
    .GetRedisAsync("my-redis-cache");

Console.WriteLine($"Host: {cache.Value.Data.HostName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Port: {cache.Value.Data.Port}");
Console.WriteLine($"SSL Port: {cache.Value.Data.SslPort}");
Console.WriteLine($"Provisioning State: {cache.Value.Data.ProvisioningState}");
```

### 3. Update Redis Cache

```csharp
var patchData = new RedisPatch
{
    Sku = new RedisSku(RedisSkuName.Standard, RedisSkuFamily.BasicOrStandard, 2),
    RedisConfiguration = new RedisCommonConfiguration
    {
        MaxMemoryPolicy = "allkeys-lru"
    }
};

var updateOperation = await cache.Value.UpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    patchData);
```

### 4. Delete Redis Cache

```csharp
await cache.Value.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
```

### 5. Get Access Keys

```csharp
var keys = await cache.Value.GetKeysAsync();
Console.WriteLine($"Primary Key: {keys.Value.PrimaryKey}");
Console.WriteLine($"Secondary Key: {keys.Value.SecondaryKey}");
```

### 6. Regenerate Access Keys

```csharp
var regenerateContent = new RedisRegenerateKeyContent(RedisRegenerateKeyType.Primary);
var newKeys = await cache.Value.RegenerateKeyAsync(regenerateContent);
Console.WriteLine($"New Primary Key: {newKeys.Value.PrimaryKey}");
```

### 7. Manage Firewall Rules

```csharp
// Create firewall rule
var firewallData = new RedisFirewallRuleData(
    startIP: System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.1"),
    endIP: System.Net.IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.255"));

var firewallCollection = cache.Value.GetRedisFirewallRules();
var firewallOperation = await firewallCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    "allow-internal-network",
    firewallData);

// List all firewall rules
await foreach (var rule in firewallCollection.GetAllAsync())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Rule: {rule.Data.Name} ({rule.Data.StartIP} - {rule.Data.EndIP})");
}

// Delete firewall rule
var ruleToDelete = await firewallCollection.GetAsync("allow-internal-network");
await ruleToDelete.Value.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
```

### 8. Configure Patch Schedule (Premium SKU)

```csharp
// Patch schedules require Premium SKU
var scheduleData = new RedisPatchScheduleData(
    new[]
    {
        new RedisPatchScheduleSetting(RedisDayOfWeek.Saturday, 2) // 2 AM Saturday
        {
            MaintenanceWindow = TimeSpan.FromHours(5)
        },
        new RedisPatchScheduleSetting(RedisDayOfWeek.Sunday, 2) // 2 AM Sunday
        {
            MaintenanceWindow = TimeSpan.FromHours(5)
        }
    });

var scheduleCollection = cache.Value.GetRedisPatchSchedules();
await scheduleCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    RedisPatchScheduleDefaultName.Default,
    scheduleData);
```

### 9. Import/Export Data (Premium SKU)

```csharp
// Import data from blob storage
var importContent = new ImportRdbContent(
    files: new[] { "https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/container/dump.rdb" },
    format: "RDB");

await cache.Value.ImportDataAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, importContent);

// Export data to blob storage
var exportContent = new ExportRdbContent(
    prefix: "backup",
    container: "https://mystorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/container?sastoken",
    format: "RDB");

await cache.Value.ExportDataAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, exportContent);
```

### 10. Force Reboot

```csharp
var rebootContent = new RedisRebootContent
{
    RebootType = RedisRebootType.AllNodes,
    ShardId = 0 // For clustered caches
};

await cache.Value.ForceRebootAsync(rebootContent);
```

#### Imported: Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
# For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>
```

## Examples

### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

```text
Use @azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
```

**Explanation:** This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

### Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

```text
Review @azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
```

**Explanation:** Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

### Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

```text
Use @azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
```

**Explanation:** This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

### Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

```text
Review @azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
```

**Explanation:** This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.



## Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

- Use WaitUntil.Completed for operations that must finish before proceeding
- Use WaitUntil.Started when you want to poll manually or run operations in parallel
- Always use DefaultAzureCredential — never hardcode keys
- Handle RequestFailedException for ARM API errors
- Use CreateOrUpdateAsync for idempotent operations
- Navigate hierarchy via Get* methods (e.g., cache.GetRedisFirewallRules())
- Use Premium SKU for production workloads requiring geo-replication, clustering, or persistence

### Imported Operating Notes

#### Imported: Best Practices

1. **Use `WaitUntil.Completed`** for operations that must finish before proceeding
2. **Use `WaitUntil.Started`** when you want to poll manually or run operations in parallel
3. **Always use `DefaultAzureCredential`** — never hardcode keys
4. **Handle `RequestFailedException`** for ARM API errors
5. **Use `CreateOrUpdateAsync`** for idempotent operations
6. **Navigate hierarchy** via `Get*` methods (e.g., `cache.GetRedisFirewallRules()`)
7. **Use Premium SKU** for production workloads requiring geo-replication, clustering, or persistence
8. **Enable TLS 1.2 minimum** — set `MinimumTlsVersion = RedisTlsVersion.Tls1_2`
9. **Disable non-SSL port** — set `EnableNonSslPort = false` for security
10. **Rotate keys regularly** — use `RegenerateKeyAsync` and update connection strings

## Troubleshooting

### Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

**Symptoms:** The result ignores the upstream workflow in `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/azure-resource-manager-redis-dotnet`, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
**Solution:** Re-open `metadata.json`, `ORIGIN.md`, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the `external_source` block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

### Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

**Symptoms:** Reviewers can see the generated `SKILL.md`, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
**Solution:** Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

### Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

**Symptoms:** The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
**Solution:** Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

// Always use DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);

// Get subscription

        WaitUntil.Completed, cacheName, cacheData);
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 409)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Cache already exists");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 400)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Invalid configuration: {ex.Message}");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ARM Error: {ex.Status} - {ex.ErrorCode}: {ex.Message}");
}
```

#### Imported: Common Pitfalls

1. **SKU downgrades not allowed** — You cannot downgrade from Premium to Standard/Basic
2. **Clustering requires Premium** — Shard configuration only available on Premium SKU
3. **Geo-replication requires Premium** — Linked servers only work with Premium caches
4. **VNet injection requires Premium** — Virtual network support is Premium-only
5. **Patch schedules require Premium** — Maintenance windows only configurable on Premium
6. **Cache name globally unique** — Redis cache names must be unique across all Azure subscriptions
7. **Long provisioning times** — Cache creation can take 15-20 minutes; use `WaitUntil.Started` for async patterns

#### Imported: Connecting with StackExchange.Redis (Data Plane)

After creating the cache with this management SDK, use StackExchange.Redis for data operations:

```csharp
using StackExchange.Redis;

// Get connection info from management SDK
var cache = await resourceGroup.Value.GetRedisAsync("my-redis-cache");
var keys = await cache.Value.GetKeysAsync();

// Connect with StackExchange.Redis
var connectionString = $"{cache.Value.Data.HostName}:{cache.Value.Data.SslPort},password={keys.Value.PrimaryKey},ssl=True,abortConnect=False";
var connection = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(connectionString);
var db = connection.GetDatabase();

// Data operations
await db.StringSetAsync("key", "value");
var value = await db.StringGetAsync("key");
```

#### Imported: Limitations

- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
