Explanation

The maxmemory-reserved setting configures the amount of memory, in MB per instance in a cluster, that is reserved for non-cache operations, such as replication during failover. Setting this value allows you to have a more consistent Redis server experience when your load varies. This value should be set higher for workloads that write large amounts of data. When memory is reserved for such operations, it's unavailable for storage of cached data. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-cache-for-redis/cache-best-practices-memory-
