AppFabric Command

This are a list of useful command that I've gathered while developing custom web part under SharePoint 2013. This is a distributed cache services command and I've developed my custom web part to use this services. I'm aware that Microsoft didn't support custom development against this distributed cache services. But I need a simple cache solution to support our custom application under SharePoint farm.

$cacheClusterInfo = $cacheClusterManager.GetSPDistributedCacheClusterInfo($cacheClusterName); 
$instanceName ="SPDistributedCacheService Name=AppFabricCachingService"
