## 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.
