The record

What it does: Azure Managed Redis is a Microsoft-operated in-memory data store based on Redis Enterprise software and hosted on Azure.
Client access: Applications within or outside Azure can use the service.
Redis version: The service supports Redis version 7.4.x.
Performance tiers: It offers Memory Optimized, Balanced, Compute Optimized, and Flash Optimized tiers, with Flash Optimized moving less frequently accessed data from RAM to NVMe storage.
Data features: The in-memory tiers support JSON data structures, search including vector search, probabilistic data structures, and time-series capability; Flash Optimized does not support those listed features except JSON.
Resilience: High availability distributes primary and replica shards across at least two nodes, and nodes are distributed across availability zones by default in supported regions.
Security: All tiers support private endpoints, TLS encryption, and Microsoft Entra authentication.
Security limit: Azure Managed Redis does not encrypt data in memory, although persistence disks are encrypted at rest.
Persistence and backups: Optional data persistence writes snapshots to disk, while import and export saves backup files to Azure Blob Storage; there is no built-in import/export scheduler.
SLA conditions: The SLA covers connectivity to cache endpoints, not data loss, and requires a high-availability configuration.
Use case: Microsoft describes the service as a cache and temporary data store rather than a persistent primary database.
Scaling limits: You cannot scale between Flash Optimized and an in-memory tier, and non-clustered configurations are only available for caches sized 25 GB or smaller.
Preview capacity: In-memory sizes above 350 GB and Flash Optimized sizes of 1,920 GB and 4,500 GB are in public preview.
