Migrate from Redis Enterprise to Azure Managed Redis

This guide walks you through migrating your Azure Cache for Redis Enterprise instances to Azure Managed Redis. The guide is organized into three phases:

1. Understand the differences

Azure Managed Redis is built on the same Redis Enterprise software stack as Azure Cache for Redis Enterprise. Because the core software is the same, your existing applications require minimal changes. Review the key feature differences, SKU structure changes, and sizing guidance to plan effectively.

2. Explore migration options

There are two migration paths to consider — switching over to a new Azure Managed Redis instance manually or using Azure migration tooling. Review the options and their trade-offs to choose the right approach for your scenario.

3. Plan execution

Based on the option you have chosen to perform migration, follow step-by-step instructions to create your new Azure Managed Redis instance, migrate your data, update your application, and validate the migration.
