Azure Service Fabric - Create Cache Management Service

NCache management service is an Azure Service Fabric service used for management and monitoring purposes by accessing the NCache Management Center. In order to access the NCache Management Center, a host port 8251 needs to be accessed, and that cannot be done in Open configuration mode as it does not allow host-to-port mapping. For this purpose, the NCache management service is separated from the NCache cluster service. This Azure Service Fabric service is created in the default NAT mode.

Azure Service Fabric - Service File to Create NCache Management Service

The Azure Service Fabric service file contains the same container image as in the NCache cluster service; however, the endpoint is created to expose the port 8251 for management with the "http" protocol as shown below:
