# Create Microsoft Connected Cache Azure resource and cache nodes # Create Microsoft Connected Cache Azure resource and cache nodes
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.

If you participated in the MCC early preview, thank you for your collaboration and feedback. If you participated in the Connected Cache early preview, thank you for your collaboration and feedback.
To continue using MCC, we strongly recommend that you upgrade your existing cache nodes to the Public Preview release.

To continue using Connected Cache, 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 Connected Cache Azure service.
As such, we strongly recommend you [recreate your existing resources in Azure](mcc-ent-create-resource-and-cache.md) and then [redeploy the MCC caching software to your host machines](mcc-ent-deploy-to-windows.md) using the latest OS-specific installer.

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. These Microsoft-published container updates are referred to as "MCC updates" in this article.

## Update rings ## Update rings
MCC 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. Connected 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.
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 MCC 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 MCC 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.

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