Azure
RedisEnterprise resource deployment fails subsequently
Bicep version Used within Azure DevOps ubuntu-latest agent. 0.38.33 (6bb5d5f859)
Describe the bug When redisEnterpise & database is specified in bicep file, deployment to the Azure fails. However, manual resource creation via Marketplace works successfully.
To Reproduce
- Add following resources to bicep file:
resource redisEnterprise 'Microsoft.Cache/redisEnterprise@2025-08-01-preview' = {
name: 'redis-${prefix}-${environment}-${locationShort}'
location: location
sku: {
name: 'Balanced_B0'
}
properties: {
highAvailability: 'Enabled'
publicNetworkAccess: 'Enabled'
}
tags: {}
}
resource redisEnterpriseDatabase 'Microsoft.Cache/redisEnterprise/databases@2025-08-01-preview' = {
name: 'default'
parent: redisEnterprise
properties: {
clientProtocol: 'Encrypted'
evictionPolicy: 'NoEviction'
clusteringPolicy: 'OSSCluster'
deferUpgrade: 'NotDeferred'
persistence: {
aofEnabled: false
rdbEnabled: false
}
accessKeysAuthentication: 'Enabled'
}
}
- Deploy infrastructure to Azure
ARM Template:
{
"type": "Microsoft.Cache/redisEnterprise",
"apiVersion": "2025-08-01-preview",

"clusteringPolicy": "OSSCluster",

},
"accessKeysAuthentication": "Enabled"
}
},
Additional context location: WestEurope Version downgrade of the resource does not mitigate the issue.
It looks like you did not include the "localPath" property to your template. Can you try adding that property and deploy again?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/templates/microsoft.cache/redisenterprise/databases?pivots=deployment-language-bicep
No localPath property is specified in documentation of these resources.
This is an ARM that comes when creating resource via Azure Wizard (Marketplace). It does not contain localPath field as well.

}
Adding "localPath" to a set of properties of both redisEnterpise and redisEnterpise/database does nothing. Adding "localPath" to properties of a resource itself fails bicep build.

I'm having same issue as well. It is true that there's no "localPath" configuration based on the documentation.
Any updates? Blocks me from moving to this resource from Azure Cache for Redis
@Rasmus715 if you were already able to deploy these resoures manually, have you tried using the Insert Resource Command or Portal export? Sometimes what happens is the resource provider hasn't correctly documented the available properties - this can help to discover what is missing.
@stephaniezyen I think it would be worth engaging the owners of this resource type internally, to see if they can share guidance on this thread.
The Portal Export returns the next resources
resource redisEnterprise_resource 'Microsoft.Cache/redisEnterprise@2025-05-01-preview' = {
name: redisEnterprise
location: 'West Europe'
sku: {
name: 'Balanced_B0'
}
kind: 'v2'
identity: {
type: 'None'
}
properties: {
minimumTlsVersion: '1.2'
highAvailability: 'Enabled'
}
}
resource redisEnterprise_default 'Microsoft.Cache/redisEnterprise/databases@2025-05-01-preview' = {
parent: redisEnterprise
name: 'default'
properties: {
clientProtocol: 'Encrypted'
port: 10000
clusteringPolicy: 'OSSCluster'
evictionPolicy: 'NoEviction'
persistence: {
aofEnabled: false
rdbEnabled: false
}
deferUpgrade: 'NotDeferred'
accessKeysAuthentication: 'Enabled'
}
}
Replacing my existing Redis resource with this still produces an error in Azure.
"Insert Resource" command gives the next resource specification:
@description('Generated from redacted')
resource redisEnterprise 'Microsoft.Cache/redisEnterprise@2025-08-01-preview' = {
location: 'West Europe'
name: 'redis-${prefix}-${environment}-${locationShort}'
tags: {}
sku: {
name: 'Balanced_B0'
}
properties: {
minimumTlsVersion: '1.2'
highAvailability: 'Enabled'
publicNetworkAccess: 'Enabled'
}
identity: {
type: 'None'
}
}
With which bicep deployment still fails with the same error.
{ "errors": { "localPath": [ "The localPath field is required." ] }, "type": "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc9110#section-15.5.1", "title": "One or more validation errors occurred.", "status": 400, "traceId": "00-7fddf0a107cba81deb0875219f90647a-23ded10c6db8f37d-01" } (Code: BadRequest)
Thanks for testing this out - @stephaniezyen has reached out to the owners of this resource type, and we'll share an update here once we have more info.
