How to use Azure AD authentication with Redis Cache

Question

I have created an MVC application with Azure AD configured. So all the Authentication setup is automated.

But I want to store users session in Azure Redis Cache. As I will be using multiple instances

I know how to setup redis cache in azure. But from where I can add Session in cache ?

As I have only got this code

 public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        app.SetDefaultSignInAsAuthenticationType(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationType);

        app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions());

        app.UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication(
            new OpenIdConnectAuthenticationOptions
            {
                ClientId = clientId,
                Authority = authority,
                PostLogoutRedirectUri = postLogoutRedirectUri
            });
    }

Once these steps are performed, your application is configured to use the Redis Cache Session State Provider. When you use session state in your application, it is stored in an Azure Redis Cache instance.

If you want to use redis for stuff other than session cache:
