Generally Available: Enforce passwordless authentication with Azure Cache for Redis

For Azure Cache for Redis caches in the Basic, Standard and Premium tiers, you can now disable access key-based authentication and use only Microsoft Entra ID managed identities and service principals. Using Microsoft Entra ID and disabling access keys helps provide a higher level of security in authentication and authorization scenarios. This capability helps prevent unsafe sharing and storage of access keys and other potential security incidents that can lead to unauthorized access of your caches.
