$ az redis delete --name [name] --resource-group [resource_group] --yes

The `az redis` command provides a comprehensive interface for managing Azure Cache for Redis instances through the Azure Command-Line Interface (Azure CLI). It allows users to create, update, delete, and monitor Redis caches within their Azure subscriptions.

Using `az redis`, you can configure various aspects of your Redis cache, including the cache size, pricing tier, network settings, firewall rules, and security features like authentication and TLS encryption. You can also manage linked servers for geo-replication, import/export data, and perform other administrative tasks. The command supports both standard and premium tiers, offering options for performance and scalability to meet different application requirements.

This command is particularly useful for automating Redis cache management tasks, integrating with CI/CD pipelines, and managing Redis infrastructure as code. Through its subcommands, `az redis` offers fine-grained control over your Azure Redis deployment, empowering developers and administrators to efficiently operate and scale their Redis-based applications.

To interact with Azure resources, you typically need to authenticate. The `az login` command is used for this purpose. Ensure you have the necessary permissions within your Azure subscription to manage Redis caches.

The `sku` and `vm-size` parameters during Redis cache creation define the pricing tier and the memory allocation, respectively. Select them based on expected workload and performance requirements. Available SKUs includes Basic, Standard, Premium, Enterprise, and EnterpriseFlash.

For example:`az redis create --name MyRedis --resource-group MyRG --location eastus --sku Basic --vm-size C0`

The `--redis-configuration` parameters is complex and contain json with redis parameters. It is possible to set parameter value using key=value format (example: `maxmemory-policy=volatile-lru`). It is also possible to remove value of parameter using key=. (example: `maxmemory-policy=`).
