How to configure shared caching?

Question

I've found no uptodate instructions how to configure shared caching.

The msdn how to (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg618004.aspx), talks about configuring it with the "old" management portal. But I have no access to the old management portal (I cannot find it). There is no  shared caching in the new management protal(?)

The azure training kit has no hands on lab for shared caching.

Is shared caching is an existing service in azure? If yes how can we configure it?

Answer 1

Hi,

Some features haven't been added to the new portal. Sorry for the inconvenience. But you can get the old version portal. Here is the way:

Click your member icon at the right up corner of the new portal page.
Select "Previous portal" option to redirect to the old version one.

Thanks,

Hi stmarti1,

Why aren't you interested in role based caching?

Regarding the shared caching service you prefer: I recommend you reading this FAQ, in particular the usage quotas part. Besides being a paid service, you have connection limits that need to be carefully taken in consideration.

Hope this helps!
