cacheSKUName

The pricing tier of the new Azure Cache for Redis.

    "cacheSKUName": {
      "type": "string",
      "allowedValues": [
        "Basic",
        "Standard",
        "Premium"
      ],
      "defaultValue": "Basic",
      "metadata": {
        "description": "The pricing tier of the new Azure Cache for Redis."
      }
    },

The template defines the values that are permitted for this parameter (Basic, Standard, or Premium), and assigns a default value (Basic) if no value is specified. Basic provides a single node with multiple sizes available up to 53 GB. Standard provides two-node Primary/Replica with multiple sizes available up to 53 GB and 99.9% SLA.

cacheSKUFamily

The family for the sku.

    "cacheSKUFamily": {
      "type": "string",
      "allowedValue/s": [
        "C",
        "P"
      ],
      "defaultValue": "C",
      "metadata": {
        "description": "The family for the sku."
      }
    },

cacheSKUCapacity

The size of the new Azure Cache for Redis instance.

For the Basic and Standard families:

    "cacheSKUCapacity": {
      "type": "int",
      "allowedValues": [
        0,
        1,
        2,
        3,
        4,
        5,
        6
      ],
      "defaultValue": 0,
      "metadata": {
        "description": "The size of the new Azure Cache for Redis instance. "
      }
    }

The Premium value cache capacity is defined the same, except the allowed values run from 1 to 5 instead of from 0 to 6.

The template defines the integer values that are permitted for this parameter (0 through 6 for the Basic and Standard families; 1 through 5 for the Premium family). If no value is specified, the template assigns a default value of 0 for Basic and Standard, 1 for Premium.

The values correspond to following cache sizes:

Value	Basic and Standard cache size	Premium cache size
0	250 MB (default)	n/a
1	1 GB	6 GB (default)
2	2.5 GB	13 GB
3	6 GB	26 GB
4	13 GB	53 GB
5	26 GB	120 GB
6	53 GB	n/a
