Azure Service Fabric - Create Cache Cluster

Now comes the step of creating the cache cluster. NCache cache cluster is formed using the IP addresses made visible in the previous steps. The cache is created using NCache Management Center and in order to access it, go to the Azure Service Fabric explorer and make sure that:

  • The cache discovery is up and running.

  • The cache discovery is listening on the port provided in the service discovery file (55100 in this case).

  • The IP addresses are same as given by the virtual network network to these Azure Service Fabric nodes as part of the secondary IP.

NCache Discovery File

After making sure of the above things, go to the Azure Service Fabric clustered DNS followed by the port on which it is listening, i.e., port 8251 in this case. It takes you to the NCache Management Center. From here, cache creation is a very easy step-wise process explained thoroughly in the documentation.
