You can use Redis Enterprise on Azure Container Services (AKS). For this example we'l be using OSx (MacOS) High Sierra and Azure CLI 2.0.

Step-1: Create an Azure resource group

Resource group will hold all the related resources together under a single name.

az group create --name redis-rg --location eastus

Step-2: Create a new AKS cluster for Redis Enterprise

This may take a while. We'll use a 3 node cluster here.

az aks create --resource-group redis-aks-rg --name redis-aks --node-count 1 --generate-ssh-keys

You can use "az aks show --resource-group redis-aks-rg --name redis-aks" to monitor status under provisioningState attribute.

Then, add credentials;

az aks get-credentials --resource-group redis-aks-rg --name redis-aks

Step-3: Get an external static IP Address

We'll use this to get to the Redis Enterprise Admin UI.

az network public-ip create --resource-group MC_redis-aks-rg_redis-aks_eastus --name redis-ip --allocation-method static
az network public-ip list --resource-group MC_redis-aks-rg_redis-aks_eastus --query [0].ipAddress --output tsv

Step-4: Create Redis Enterprise cluster on AKS

use the redis-enterprise.yaml to deploy redis enterprise.

kubectl create -f redis-enterprise.yaml

Validate the deployment is accesible using "'kubectl get service redis'". You can also view the kubernetes admin UI using "'az aks browse --resource-group redis-aks-rg --name redis-aks'"
