Azure Shared/Role Caching and Retrying?
When using Azure Shared/Role Caching, particularly for Session Management, is it necessary to add additional logic for transient fault handling, or is it already "built-in"?

Hi,

It is not built-in. Please try to manually implement retry logic. You can refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh916611.aspx#section_7 for more information.

Thanks. That was helpful. But I'm still a little confused. In this article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg185682.aspx) they describe configuration settings for retryInterval and retryCount.

So does that mean there is already transient fault handling when using the cache as a session provider, but not when using the cache otherwise?

Also, if there is transient fault handling in the session provider, does it matter if I am using a shared cache  vs a role cache?

Based on my understanding, Windows Azure cache does not implment out of box retry policy. But the cache provider for ASP.NET session implements it. So if you're using the session provider, you can configure those properties. However if you're using cache in general, it is needed to manually implement retry policy.
