Azure Cache for Redis Standard and Premium tiers offer redundancy by hosting each cache on two dedicated virtual machines (VMs) configured as primary and replica. If the primary VM becomes unavailable, the replica automatically takes over as the new primary.

## Limitations
22

23
+
Creating more than one replica has the following limitations:
24
+
25
+
- Only Premium-tier Azure Redis supports adding more than one replica.
26
+
- You can't change the number of replicas after you create the cache.
27
+
- You can't use geo-replication with caches that have more than one replica.
28
+
- You can't use Append-only File (AOF) data persistence if you create more than one replica.
