Let’s talk speed and scale: Azure Managed Redis at Microsoft Ignite 2026
What could you build if your apps kept pace with your biggest ideas? At Microsoft Ignite 2026 explore how Azure Managed Redis can help you build fast, scalable applications and get practical guidance directly from Redis, Microsoft, and customers putting it into practice. Here’s where to find us at Ignite, from our featured breakout session to hands-on resources and conversations with our experts. Bring your toughest scaling questions to Ignite What does building applications for scale look like beyond an architecture diagram? Add this session to your Ignite agenda to explore a real-world customer scenario and discover actionable patterns for your own applications. Whether you are navigating a performance bottleneck or planning to modernize your application estate, bring your questions and get ready to connect these lessons to your workloads. Breakout Session: Beyond the cache: How Sitecore builds to scale on Azure Managed Redis – BRK 374 Attend: In person or online When: Thursday, November 19, 2026, at 5:15 p.m. PT Where: Moscone Center, San Francisco Explore how Sitecore uses Azure Managed Redis to support Azure Kubernetes Service-based workloads in Content Hub, its platform for governing and distributing content and digital assets. Then connect that story to your own architecture with practical caching patterns, guidance for complementing database-backed applications, and Azure Managed Redis agent kit resources to help you plan your next steps. View the session and save it to your Ignite Favorite Your app, Your questions, Let’s talk at the booth Visit the Azure Managed Redis team at the Cosmos DB, DocumentDB & Redis on Azure in the Expo Hall to discover what’s new, explore demos, or simply say hello. Talk through an architecture idea, get guidance on a challenge, or chat with us about what you’re building. Bring your questions, your next big idea, or just your curiosity, we’d love to meet you. Get Ignite-ready: Explore, plan, and try Azure Managed Redis yourself Make your time at Ignite count with a little exploration before you arrive: Plan your Microsoft Ignite experience - Explore the event and build an agenda around your priorities. Get to know Azure Managed Redis - Discover common scenarios and consider where it could fit into your application architecture. Create your first Azure Managed Redis instance - A focused alternative for readers who want a quick starting point rather than a full workshop. We look forward to meeting you there!What’s new in Azure Managed Redis: Ignite 2025 feature announcements
Azure Managed Redis continues to power the world’s most demanding, low-latency workloads—from caching and session management to powering the next generation of AI agents. At Microsoft Ignite 2025, we’re excited to announce several new capabilities designed to make Azure Managed Redis even more scalable, manageable, and AI-ready. Bigger, faster, stronger: new enterprise-scale SKUs (generally available) We are expanding our capacity portfolio with the general availability of Memory Optimized 150 and 250, Balanced 150 and 250, Compute Optimized 150 and 250 SKUs/, bringing higher throughput, lower latency, and greater memory capacity for your most demanding workloads. Whether you’re running global gaming platforms, AI-powered personalization engines, or enterprise-scale caching tiers, these new SKUs offer the performance headroom to scale with confidence. Redis as a knowledge base for AI Agents Azure Managed Redis is now available as part of the Azure AI Foundry MCP tools catalog, allowing customers to use Redis as a knowledge store or memory store for AI agents. This integration makes it simple to connect Redis to Foundry-based agents, enabling semantic searching, long term and short term memory, and faster reasoning for multi-agent applications—all running on trusted Azure infrastructure. Scheduled Maintenance (public preview) You can now configure maintenance windows for their Azure Managed Redis instances, giving you greater control and predictability for planned service updates. This capability helps align maintenance with your own operational schedules—minimizing disruption and providing flexibility for mission-critical applications. Terraform Provider for Azure Managed Redis We’re making infrastructure automation even easier with a dedicated Terraform provider for Azure Managed Redis. This new provider enables you to declaratively create, manage, and configure AMR resources through code, improving consistency and streamlining CI/CD pipelines across environments. Reserved Instances: now in 30+ Regions Azure Managed Redis now supports Reserved Instances in over 30 regions, with more coming soon. Reserved pricing provides predictable costs and savings for long-term workloads.. Go to Azure Portal | Reservations | Add and search for ‘Azure Cache for Redis’. Azure Managed Redis SKUs like Balanced, Computer Optimized, Memory Optimized, and Flash Optimized, would show up as sub SKUs in the category. Reserved Instance is available for 35% discount with 1 year purchase and 55% discount with 3 year purchase.
