This article outlines how to create and configure your Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education (MCC) cache nodes. The creation and configuration of your cache node takes place in Azure. The deployment of your cache node requires downloading and running an OS-specific provisioning package on your host machine.
## Prerequisites
1. **Azure Pay-As-You-Go subscription**: Microsoft Connected Cache is a free-of-charge service hosted in Azure. You'll need a pay-as-you-go Azure subscription in order to onboard to our service. To create a subscription, go to [pay-as-you-go subscription page](https://azure.microsoft.com/offers/ms-azr-0003p/).
2. **Hardware to host MCC**: The recommended configuration serves approximately 35,000 managed devices, downloading a 2-GB payload in 24-hour timeframe at a sustained rate of 6.5 Gbps.
For more information on sizing and OS requirements, see [the prerequisites for using MCC for Enterprise and Education](mcc-ent-prerequisites.md).

1. Set the Execution Policy to "Unrestricted" to allow the provisioning scripts to run.
1. Create a `$User` environment variable containing the username of the account you intend to designate as the MCC runtime account. For gMSAs, the value should be formatted as `"Domain\Username$"`. For Local User accounts, `$User` should be formatted as `"LocalMachineName\Username"`.
- If you're using a Local User account as the MCCE runtime account, you'll also need to create a [PSCredential Object](/dotnet/api/system.management.automation.pscredential) named `$myLocalAccountCredential`.

To continue using MCC, we strongly recommend that you upgrade your existing cache nodes to the Public Preview release. Cache nodes created and deployed during early preview should still function but can no longer be managed or monitored remotely via the MCC Azure service.
As such, we strongly recommend you [recreate your existing cache nodes in Azure](mcc-ent-create-resource-and-cache.md) and then [redeploy the MCCE caching software to your host machines](mcc-ent-deploy-to-windows.md) using the latest OS-specific installer.

This article contains instructions on how to troubleshoot different issues you may encounter while using MCC. These issues are categorized by the task in which they may be encountered. For example, this next section covers troubleshooting [MCC Azure resource creation](mcc-ent-create-resource-and-cache.md).
## Steps to obtain an Azure subscription ID
<!--Using include file, get-azure-subscription.md, do/mcc-isp.md for shared content-->
[!INCLUDE [Get Azure subscription](includes/get-azure-subscription.md)]
## Troubleshooting Azure resource creation
MCC Azure resource creation can be initiated using either the Azure portal or the Azure CLI command set. If you're encountering an error during resource creation, check that you have the necessary RPaaS permissions and have filled out all required fields.

# Configure container update frequency for Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education (MCCE)
# Configure container update frequency for Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education (MCC)
Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education (MCCE) caching software is deployed to host machines as a container. The container OS and any software component within the container will need to be updated for security vulnerabilities or quality issues, or performance improvements required to successfully operate the caching software. These Microsoft-published container updates are called "MCCE updates" in this article.
Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education (MCC) caching software is deployed to host machines as a container. The container OS and any software component within the container need to be updated to address security vulnerabilities and improve quality and performance.

## Update rings
MCCE cache nodes can be configured to either the "Fast" or "Slow" update ring. If configured to update as part of the Fast ring, the cache node will be silently updated by Microsoft soon after the update is made available. If configured to update as part of the Slow ring, the cache node is silently updated by Microsoft within five weeks of the update becoming available.

If configured to update as part of the Fast ring, the cache node will be silently updated by Microsoft soon after the update is made available. If configured to update as part of the Slow ring, the cache node is silently updated by Microsoft within five weeks of the update becoming available.
In other words, configuring cache nodes to update as part of the Slow ring provides users with the option to delay the update process until they have validated that the latest MCCE update works within their environment. For example, a user could configure a test cache node to update as part of the Fast ring and validate that clients can successfully interact with the test cache node after the latest MCCE update has been applied. This builds confidence that service won't be interrupted when the production cache nodes are updated as part of the Slow ring.

### Update ring options
>[!IMPORTANT]
>In the event of a critical security patch, Microsoft may elect to initiate an MCC update to your cache node as soon as possible (even if the cache node has been set to the Slow Ring). Visit the [Release notes](mcc-ent-release-notes.md) page for a detailed changelog of each MCC update.
#### Fast Ring
All MCCE cache nodes are configured to update as part of the Fast ring by default. MCCE cache nodes in the Fast ring will be updated soon after an update is made available. Microsoft will silently update cache nodes at a time of day when update traffic is likely to be minimal, such as 3:00 AM (local time) on Saturday.

#### Slow Ring
Configuring an MCCE cache node to update as part of the Slow ring provides users with the option to delay MCCE software updates until the update can be validated. There are three settings that control when MCCE updates will be applied to MCCE cache nodes. All update ring settings can be managed from the Azure portal or through Azure CLI.

## Update process
When Microsoft publishes an MCCE update, the MCCE service attempts to update all MCCE cache nodes based on their Update Ring membership. If a cache node can't complete the silent MCCE update within 6 hours of starting, an error message is surfaced in the Azure portal.

| Security | Security updates are the highest priority and will be released based on the severity rating of the vulnerability. [Critical and High](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss) vulnerabilities will be released by Microsoft within 60 days of discovery. [Medium and Low](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss) vulnerabilities will be released by Microsoft within 120 days |
| Quality | Quality updates fix a specific problem and addresses a noncritical, non-security-related bug. Quality updates could include performance fixes for a specific problem or changes related to cache efficiency or maximum egress for example. Quality updates will be released along with security updates or when necessary to ensure proper functioning of the Microsoft Connected Cache software. |
