Create a managed cache

You can use New-AzureManagedCache cmdlet to create a managed cache.

You need to specify:

• Name of the managed cache via Name parameter.
• Location of the managed cache via Location parameter.

You can also specify:

• Sku of the managed cache. You can use Basic, Standard or Premium. By default, it's Basic.
• Memory of the managed cache. Valid values vary based on the sku you select.

One thing really cool is that these 2 parameters have tab-completion of their validate values so that you can find out what value you can use easily.

The following example shows how to create a managed cache of sku "Standard" and memory size 1GB.

New-AzureManagedCache -Name test -Location "West US" -Sku Standard -Memory 1GB
