The following article tells that the "default" Redis server configuration in Azure has 16 Redis databases: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/cbe6d113-7bdc-4664-a59d-ff0df6f4e214#RedisConfig.

It also states that:

Any values that are configurable, such as max-memory-policy, are configurable through the portal.

As for me I've not found such setting in Azure Portal.

Is it possible to change amount of Azure Redis databases?

    Side note: To my knowledge the latest release of Redis (3.0) does not support multiple databases. MS Azure uses the windows clone, which is not at 3.0 yet, but they will most probably follow. I'd steer away from it, it's not recommended (although valid in Redis 2.x). – Tw Bert Apr 24 '15 at 10:05
  • @TwBert, I've just installed Redis 3.0 and databases are still supported. Redis Cluster supports the only database unlike standalone instance. – Eugene D. Gubenkov Apr 24 '15 at 23:52

  • @EugeneD.Gubenkov Apparently I made a wrong assumption (Redis Cluster -> Redis 3.0). Thanks for the feedback, good to know. – Tw Bert Apr 28 '15 at 06:52

As mentioned by Pranav, this is not yet possible, but is something we are considering in the near future.

Update: Yes, we rolled this feature out, but it isn't a configuration setting, it is a limit based on the size of cache instance you have chosen. For instance, a C1 still has a limit of 16, but a C4 has up to 32. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-cache-for-redis/cache-configure#default-redis-server-configuration for more details
