In this article, you'll learn how to configure a zone-redundant Azure Cache instance using the Azure portal.

Azure Cache for Redis Standard, Premium, and Enterprise tiers provide built-in redundancy by hosting each cache on two dedicated virtual machines (VMs). Even though these VMs are located in separate [Azure fault and update domains](../virtual-machines/availability.md) and highly available, they're susceptible to datacenter level failures. Azure Cache for Redis also supports zone redundancy in its Premium and Enterprise tiers. A zone-redundant cache runs on VMs spread across multiple [Availability Zones](../reliability/availability-zones-overview.md). It provides higher resilience and availability.

Automatic zone allocation increases the overall availability of your cache by automatically spreading it across multiple availability zones. Using availability zones makes the cache more resilient to outages in a datacenter. For more information, see [Zone redundancy](cache-high-availability.md#zone-redundancy).

1. Availability zones can be selected manually for Premium tier caches. The count of availability zones must always be less than or equal to the Replica count for the cache.
