GitHub Copilot for Azure: Add Azure cache for Redis to an app

Key Takeaways

in this scenario we're going to add a cache to an app first we need to build the app let's leverage a and use the ACD and nit command so we can use their Django and postgress on Azure container apps template ACD will take care of creating the environment provisioning the resources and deploying everything as soon as I type in ACD up once it's done it gives us the endpoint of our app that's fully deployed into Azure and we can now visit it in the browser now in the browser we can see our app it's fully working here on your own time of course feel free to deploy this template and poke around as much as you'd like but the purpose of this video is to show you how you can Leverage The GitHub co-pilot for Azure extension to add a cash to your app so let's head back to vs code I've got GitHub co-pilot chat opened here and I've asked the at Azure extension how do I configure my Django app to use Azure red is cache it's provided me a couple of CI commands that I need to run and additionally a couple of configurations that I need to change in my settings.py so I'm going to go ahead and apply these changes and I'll be back once I'm done just wrapped up running the commands implementing the recommended changes as well and in models.py just added some basic cache functionality into my code and you can see here in the terminal I'm just testing to see if interactivity with my cache is working and it looks like it is so now let's go ahead and deploy our code changes and we can do that leveraging a once again with the a deploy command similar to that a up command as soon as it is done it'll give us an endpoint back in the browser let's click destinations and my goal here is to just generate a couple of hits to the cache so let's click around a couple of things select Uranus it's got a silly name and now we can head over to the Azure portal and verify that all this stuff is actually working taking a look at our server load and memory usage it looks like the hits are coming in and everything's wired up correctly install the extension let us know any feedback you have in the repo and let us know which scenarios you'd like us to cover next
