Internal Cache isn't available for Consumption plan. So shouldn't it be External (using Redis)?

Yes, you are right. In the feature-based comparison of the tiers, it says that built-in cache is not available. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-features And here it says that "internal" would be using the built-in cache. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-caching-policies

Consumption Pricing Tier of API Management does not support Built-in Cache. Therefore caching-type should be set to "external". Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-features

Internal cache is not available in the Consumption tier of Azure API Management. You can use an external Azure Cache for Redis instead. You can also configure an external cache in other API Management service tiers.

Caching type must be external since consumption plan does not support internal caching. Downstream caching type must be private as it is not shared. Vary by header must be authorization as it is cached per customer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-caching-policies

I don't find any example with private downstream and a vary by header. For me the vary by header only make sense for public downstream. I opt for: External Public Authorization In normal situation, I would have put private downstream without a vary by header.

Private is because cached data is isolated between customers External is because internal is not a feature of the Consumption plan Authorization to enable caching responses per value of specified header

internal caching-type Choose between the following values of the attribute: - internal to use the built-in API Management cache, - external to use the external cache as described in Use an external Azure Cache for Redis in Azure API Management, - prefer-external to use external cache if configured or internal cache otherwise. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-caching-policies

Extermal - When you look at the pricing plans for the Azure API management, when it comes to the Consumption plan, it only supports external cache. Private - we need to ensure that the data is not available to other customers, we need to use the cache type of Private caching. Authorization - the calls are being authenticated by OAuth, the caching can vary by the Authorization header.
