Overview

You can use the Cache for Redis component to represent and visualize the Redis caches from your Azure environment.

Toolbar

Use the toolbar to configure and customize the component. The following options are available:

• Color: Select accent and fill colors for the body of the component in 3D view.
• Tier: Select the performance tier for your Redis cache.
• Type: Select the instance type of your Redis cache. Changing the instance type changes the hardware details shown in the toolbar to reflect what is used by the hypervisor.

API

Use the Cloudcraft API to programmatically access and render your architecture diagrams as JSON objects. The following is an example JSON object of a Cache for Redis component:

Schema

{
	"type": "azureredis",
	"id": "e73c3831-83bf-4bbc-98e9-f5731cb0e437",
	"region": "northcentralus",
	"mapPos": [5,0],
	"tier": "Basic",
	"instance": "C0"
	"color": {
		"isometric": null,
		"2d": null
	},
	"accentColor": {
		"isometric": null,
		"2d": null
	},
	"link": "https://azure.microsoft.com/products/cache",
	"locked": true
}

• type: string: The type of component. Must be a string of value azureredis for this component.
• id: string, uuid: The unique identifier for the component. The API uses a UUID v4 internally but accepts any unique string.
• resourceId: string: The globally unique identifier for the component within Azure.
• region: string: The Azure region for the component. The API supports all global regions, except China.
• mapPos: array: The position of the component in the blueprint. The API uses a unique X and Y coordinate pair to express positioning.
• tier: string: The performance tier of the Redis cache. Accepts one of three values, Basic, Standard,or Premium. Defaults to Basic.
• instance: string: The instance type of the Redis cache. Defaults to C0.
• color: object: The fill color for the component body.
  • isometric: string: A hexadecimal color for the component body in 3D view. Defaults to #D82F27.
  • 2d: string: A hexadecimal color for the component body in 2D view. Defaults to null.
• accentColor: object: The accent color for the component logo.
  • isometric: string: A hexadecimal color for the component logo in 3D view. Defaults to #FFFFFF.
  • 2d: string: A hexadecimal color for the component logo in 2D view. Defaults to null.
• link: string, uri: A URI that links the component to another diagram or an external website. Accepts one of two formats, blueprint:// or https://.
• locked: boolean: Whether to allow changes to the position of the component through the web interface. Defaults to false.
